Hayes also co-starred in Duccio Tessari's Tough Guys, which mixed the blaxploitation and Italian action genres to produce what might be called a blaxpaghetti movie. He never made a career of acting - he kept recording and touring and was a deejay on New York City's KISS-FM - but he got plenty of film work when he wanted it.

With his decision, Morgan also ends his gymnastics career, one that he has shared with his brother since they were boys growing up in Waukesha, Wis. "This has been an extremely hard decision for me to make," Morgan said in a press conference in Beijing, where he appeared with the entire men's gymnastics team in a show of support. "I have given everything I can to compete in this Olympic Games. To get here and not be able to perform because of an injury is extremely disappointing, but at the same time, I'm a team player...
