Bow Wow: 'One day I will stop and just be an actor'

You may recognize Bow Wow when he pops up on HBO’s Entourage this September as a new client of Eric’s (Kevin Connolly), but don’t bother looking for his name in the credits. The 21-year-old rapper-actor is opting to use his real moniker, Shad Moss. “Bow Wow is an established artist, but he’s just a kid,” Wow says. “Shad Moss is who I am 24/7.” But he’s not out of the doghouse just yet: the seventh Bow Wow album, Pedigree, is due out this November. And even though it features high-profile guests like Snoop Dogg, T.I., Nelly, Lil Wayne, and Soulja Boy, Bow Wow (or is it Moss?) hints that he¹s flirting with the idea of retiring from music entirely. “One day I will stop and just be an actor. I feel it in my bones. But when I¹m on
a movie set for three months watching [BET's] 106 & Park and I don¹t see me on there, that drives me to think I can¹t leave it alone just yet.”

    I think Entourage is a great show. But I dont see how Bow Wow will add to it. He is an at best a decent actor but his acting chops are no way going to shine through that show. I dont mind that Rappers and Pop Stars want to be actors because they cant write anymore and want to move on but, that doesnt mean that they should be on a show as good as this one. Lets recap his last to HBO size works (more than 1 episode)… Tokyo Drift and Roll Bounce?? Comming off these 2 movies do you think he is able to jump on board?? I for one dont think so. Unless they are looking for the next William Shatner (Star Trek Days of over acting).
