DRAKE JUST PRODUCING TV SERIES
Rapper/actor DRAKE has dismissed reports he's landed a starring role in upcoming TV comedy US AND THEM - he's simply producing the project.
Drake at the 2009 BET Awards held at the Shrine Auditorium. Los Angeles, California - 28.06.09
The Best I Ever Had hitmaker, real name Aubrey Graham, rose to fame as an actor in 2001 with a part on Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation, but he has since launched a hip-hop career under the moniker Drake and signed a record deal with Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment.
He was alleged to be heading back to star on the small screen, but Drake insists it's only for a behind-the-scenes role.
His representative tells MTV.com, "Us and Them is something he has been working on for some time with some of his actor friends. They will be continuing to develop the show, but Drake won't be starring in it."
However, the star hasn't ruled out acting altogether, admitting he'd jump at the chance to work with comedy writer/director Judd Apatow.
He says, "I always tell (my management) my dream is to be in a movie with Will Ferrell or Michael Cera. I'm a big fan of all those. Steve Carell, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up and Superbad. I'm a big fan of those movies.
"I feel like I've had the training and I'm surrounded by enough funny people that I could probably pull it off."
