50 Cent’s acting resume continues to expand as he lands his first role on the small screen with a part on an episode of ‘The Finder.’ Fif will appear on the new series, which airs as a spin off of ‘Bones’ this January, in an episode scheduled for February.
The role might involve a little more method acting than the rapper’s film gigs as he will play a hip hop mogul named Big Glade. Fif’s character enlists the show’s lead, Walter, played by Geoff Stults, to find the missing recordings of a rapper who was signed onto his label, but things take a dark turn when the show’s star finds out that the rap mogul will stop at nothing to get his hands on the missing material.
The rapper recently made his dramatic debut in ‘All Things Fall Apart’ as a Heisman Trophy hopeful who discovers a tumor only inches from his heart. Fif dropped nearly 80 pounds for the film which is slated for a theatrical release in 2012. The film nearly faced a lawsuit from Chinua Achebe because its original title was identical to the Nigerian author’s 1958 novel ‘Things Fall Apart.’
50 Cent has a been involved in a host of acting gigs this year and has several projects set for completion by the end of 2012. His most recent gig was a role in the heist film ‘Setup’ alongside Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe which was released straight to DVD and Blu Ray in September. The rapper-turned-actor is currently involved in three projects, ‘Vengeance,’ ‘Fire with Fire,’ and ‘Freelancers,’ that are at the post-production stage and is currently filming ‘The Frozen Ground’ with John Cusack and Nicolas Cage, while ‘Lives of the Saints’ which stars Meg Ryan is in the pre-production stage.
