He'll be expecting a standing ovation.
Songbird Usher Raymond is looking to hit the big screen with his up and coming movie, "In the Mix," out November 23.
"What the plot of the story is, well, a young city DJ named Darrell Williams, aged 26, has one of the hottest clubs in New York City," the singer began. "He gets himself invited to a party for a mafia princess ... and ends up taking the bullet for a mafia boss played by Chazz Palminteri. After that, my character is asked to be [bodyguard to] Dolly Pacelli, who happens to be played by Emmanuelle Chriqui. After that, basically the plot unfolds, you know ? life is what happens when you're making other plans,? Usher reported in a MTV interview.
With a few B- role movies behind him, Usher is looking to take his acting career up a notch.
"Films of the past," he sighed. "Not to say that they weren't great films, but you have to have a portfolio, a healthy portfolio. I'd rather know that the scripts I'm taking on are things that I really feel are going in the direction of the acting that I want to do."
Romance, comedy and music complied together is bound to make ?In the Mix? and crowd pleaser.
Though Usher does not perform in the movie, he still lets us slip a peak at those washboard abs of his!
