Drake and Donald Glover are among the artists listed in All Access’ article on “8 Actors Who Have Crossed Over Into Music Stardom.”
“It’s not unusual for actors to be bitten by the music bug,” the article says. “After all, if you have the opportunity to leave Hollyweird for a chance to perform sold out shows all over the world, you’re going to take it.”
Regarding Drake, the article points to his role as Jimmy Brooks (a.k.a. Wheelchair Jimmy) on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
“Drake made such an impact in music today that it’s easy to forget his acting roots,” the All Access article says. “His stints hosting the ESPYS and Saturday Night Live were reminders that Drake has the rap game in the palm of one hand and acting in the other.”
