Offset will make his debut acting role on the CBS crime drama NCIS: Los Angeles. In a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming episode, LL Cool J — who plays former Navy SEAL Sam Hanna — explained how he helped the Migos rapper land the gig.
“Offset and I, we’ve been talking on and off,” LL explained. “He kinda came to me and was like, ‘Yo I would like to be involved with it.’ One thing led to another. You know they did their process went through their thing and here we are.
“When you’re a rap artist, they think you’re gonna play a gangster or a thug or you’re gonna play something closer to the streets. And he’s completely away from all of that.”

Offset plays Kadri Kashan Khan, an undercover CIA Officer who’s been working in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula for years.
Khan blends in with the local tribes by smuggling contraband in an effort to monitor terrorists and track weapons in that region. Hanna and his partner Special Agent G. Callen — played by Chris O’Donnell — recruit Khan to help rescue one of their own who’s been captured and held for ransom.

“I really hollered at him and was like ‘Yo this is what I want to do,'” Offset said. “I didn’t ever wanna come into acting and be like put in this category of being the bad guy all the time. I wanted to show that I can do anything that someone sets in front of me.”
The episode airs on March 1 at 9 p.m. EST on CBS and will feature the premiere of Offset’s new song, “Danger.”
That 360 deal not looking so good now huh? Mfs think they hot in music till that couple mill runs dry then they turn into what they were to begin with an actor
Same thing ll c j did and point
Honestly yeah …Everything you guys ^ are sayin but if it turns out 360 includes your record label getting pieces of your acting, Mountain Dew checks and shit….that shit is NOT ok and it’s some real Slave shit too! ……Someone said (this week) that if your record label has you doing ANYTHING other than rapping your deal is trash or something to that effect……TRUTH!
I don’t know anything for sure ….but I’m willing to bet no record companies get a Penny from LL, Ice T or Cube’s acting gigs. Mothafuckas need to quit selling their Souls!
Hell you talmbout, bro. He is with Cardi B. The bitch stay opening doors for this rat. If it were the money running dry, all three migos would be in film by now. It is a good move for him. No cap.
Well damn! if it’s hate in your heart then let it go lmao
Hopefully he can perform better than Quavo did in Narcos Mexico Season 2. That was an embarrassing performance and I don’t see how he wasn’t cut out and replaced with someone else.
Am woth you on this one they embarrassed theirself
THis is awesome when the big homies look past the fact that your music sounds nothing like theirs, but they still go in the paint for you. That’s what “business” is about
I’m sure all the actors out there pounding the pavement going on audition after audition are applauding Mr Offsets ability to have a beer a get a role on the show. Maybe some actor can go to his record label have a beer and get a song released.
Anyone that gets hotel packages with major travel engines like expedia,travelocity, priceline, orbitz etc that charge alot of fees and the resort fee is not included in the price…… My prices are black and White it comes with resort fee and Tax book with me now!!!!!
