Drake wants to act again, but not with the crap scripts he’s been given

Looks like Drake is going back to his Degrassi roots; the Forest Hill–raised musician recently confessed that he wants to get back to acting. Unfortunately, Drake says the roles are all “typical projects that they’d offer to a new rapper.” Wait, are they making a fifth Fast and the Furious or the long-awaited sequel to Deep Blue Sea?

“I can actually act,” he told XXL magazine. (If any moviemakers are reading this, here’s a sample of his acting.) Ideally, Drake says he’d like to be cast in a Judd Apatow–style comedy. Well, they could always make another Degrassi movie and crank up the toilet humour, or Drake could take the Eminem and 50 Cent route and cast himself in a biopic along with all his former Degrassi costars. With the way ratings are going for the new 90210, Shenae Grimes just might be available.
