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├óΓé¼Γäós original series Breaking Bad and Mad Men (well, until Sunday’s premiere that is) we├óΓé¼Γäóre intrigued. We├óΓé¼Γäóll be keeping an eye out, Common.
