Terry Orr is an American former professional football tight end known for his career in the National Football League with the Washington Redskins, where he contributed to two Super Bowl championships during the team's dominant era in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Born on September 27, 1961, in Savannah, Georgia, Orr played college football at the University of Texas before being selected by the Washington Redskins in the tenth round of the 1985 NFL Draft. He went on to play eight seasons in the NFL from 1986 to 1993, spending the majority of his career with the Redskins across two stints (1986–1989 and 1991–1993) and a brief period with the San Diego Chargers in 1990. Primarily a reserve tight end and special teams contributor, Orr appeared in 105 games with 19 starts and provided occasional deep-threat production in the passing game. He is also the father of Chris Orr and Zach Orr, both of whom played professional football.

Early life

Birth and background

Terry Orr was born on September 27, 1961, in Savannah, Georgia. He attended Cooper High School in Abilene, Texas, where he played high school football. Terry Orr did not have a professional dance career. The material previously in this section refers to a different person, Terrence S. Orr (born March 12, 1943), who was a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre and later served as a ballet master there and as artistic director of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. No dance-related activities are documented for Terry Orr (born September 27, 1961), the former NFL tight end. Terry Orr appeared as himself in several NFL television broadcasts during his playing career with the Washington Redskins, including episodes of The NFL on CBS (1986–1992) and NFL Monday Night Football. No other television or film work, including acting or dance performances, is documented for him.

Production contributions

Assistant ballet master role

In 1978, Terry Orr served as assistant ballet master for one episode of the PBS television series Live from Lincoln Center. This credit applied specifically to the American Ballet Theatre presentation at the Metropolitan Opera House, which aired on May 17, 1978. As assistant ballet master, he worked alongside other ABT personnel in the production department, including ballet masters Scott Douglas, Michael Lland, and Jurgen Schneider, as well as ballet mistress Georgina Parkinson, contributing to the staging and preparation of the televised performance. This behind-the-scenes role represented a shift from his earlier on-camera work on the same series. He had previously appeared as a principal dancer in a 1976 episode of Live from Lincoln Center. This appears to be his only documented credit in a production support capacity. Terry Orr retired from the National Football League after the 1993 season, concluding an eight-year career in which he played 105 games primarily with the Washington Redskins. In his post-football years, Orr pursued various professional activities, including sales in insurance and retirement products, broadcasting, writing a column for The Washington Post, and involvement in Virginia Republican political circles, where he received appointments to state boards under Governors George Allen and Jim Gilmore. In August 2001, Orr was sentenced to 14 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud for misusing approximately $141,000 in investor funds intended for his failed athletic shoe company venture. The victims included former Redskins teammates.
