But What I Really Wanna Do Is Act!
DMX could take a queue from Rapper Common, who’s making a sophisticated leap onto AMC’s pilot Hell on Wheels.
The Terminator: Salvation star will play a half-black/half-white freed slave who works on the Transcontinental Railroad. AMC’s SVP of programming, Joel Stillerman, said the following about Common’s role:
“Common brings a layered intensity to a very complex role. This part required someone who can transcend the stereotypes of the period and bring the character to life in a truly unique way, and he brings that.”
After the success of AMC’s original series Breaking Bad and Mad Men (well, until Sunday's premiere that is) we’re intrigued. We’ll be keeping an eye out, Common.

Al Pacino Headed To Broadway!
Date Night!

Queue? …Or Cue? Nice….
The first season of Mad Men averaged less than a million viewers, and now in the 4th season they premiered triple that. Are you dumb? Why do you keep acting like the numbers are something to be disappointed with? It's AMC for goodness sakes! A lot of people don't even have the damn channel. Plus, it's a show for intelligent people (the reason you don't watch,) they always get lower ratings.
AGAIN with the "queue"….
Yummy! Been in love with Common forever!!
common is seksi!
First off, it's 'cue', secondly, when you make as obviously lame a bash as commenting on Mad Men's highest season opener ratings of the series' history as being a failure because it's low by LCD network sitcom standards, it shows how hard you try to be 'intelligent' and 'expertly' when in fact you're just a dude with a website that gets a lot of traffic- no other qualifications.
THIS MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE! IS IT DMX OR COMMON GETTING THE ROLE…MAN, YA'LL MUST HAVE SOME UNEDUCATED CHEAP FUCKERS WORKING FOR YOU, THIS SHIT SUCKS ASS AND DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE.
Re: DamnYankee – HE DOES THIS ON PURPOSE (MAKES SHIT UP OR PUT SOMETHING THAT IS GLARINGLY WRONG) TO HE GETS THE COMMENTS UP TO 10 INSTEAD OF 2. LOL!
