Before Drake was this rap phenomenon he was an actor. Remember the series Degrassi? Drake, who’s real name is Aubrey Graham played a wheel chair bound teenager named Jimmy in the show. Now that Drake has finally released his debut album, looks like he wants to get back into acting.

According to thewrap.com, the Young Money rapper is currently in negotiations with Johnny Lin and Filmula Films to appear alongside silver screen veterans Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon and Eva Green in the upcoming independent financial thriller, Arbitage.

Rollingout.com states that Arbitage, which is being written and directed by Nicholas Jerecki, tells the story of a hedge-fund magnate engaging in fraud who finds himself in over his head and desperate to sell his business to a major bank before his fraud comes to light. Not sure what part Drake is up for though. Make sure you stay tuned to 24hourhiphop.com for more news on this developing story.
