RAPPER/ACTOR DRAKE LANDS TV ROLE
Rising rapper DRAKE is returning to his acting roots - he’s landed a role in upcoming TV series US AND THEM.
The 22-year-old Canadian, real name Aubrey Graham, began his career on the small screen in 2001 with a part in teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation.
He picked up the microphone in 2006 and began rapping under the moniker Drake, eventually leading him to sign a recording contract with hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in June (09).
The star is currently working on his debut album Thank Me Later but he’s not turning his back on acting for good - instead, he’s drawing on his experience with fame to help develop a new comedy series.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Drake will star alongside actor Mazin Eisadig as best friends trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.
