Bow Wow Joins Entourage

Shad Moss, aka Bow Wow, is taking some time from music to focus on acting full time, but will return to the studio to work on his seventh album, titled H.I.M. (History in Making).

Moss has joined the upcoming fifth season of HBO’s Entourage in a recurring role, playing Charlie, a new stand-up comic client of E (Kevin Connolly).

Moss has also landed a role opposite Forest Whitaker and Isaiah Washington in the Weinstein Co.’s sports drama Patriots, about a high school basketball team in post-Katrina Louisiana.

"After 16 years in the music industry and six successful albums, I’ve decided to shift my energy to something else I’m passionate about, acting. I’m going to try to be the next Will Smith."

When your music career begins to fade, acting is the next step. It’s harder to go from acting to music. It would be best to lower expectations however, rather than tell everyone you’ll be the next Will Smith and not deliver.
