Open Extended Reactions
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is stepping outside of his comfort zone -- and onto your television screen.
Jackson will make his acting debut during season four of rapper 50 Cent's hit Starz series, "Power Book III: Raising Kanan."
The Ravens quarterback will play a character named "E-Tone." In a post on social media, Jackson described the character as a "deadly, dangerous character -- you don't want to get on his bad side."
Jackson's role as E-Tone is likely involved with Unique, the antagonist of the series, who is wreaking havoc after a surprise resurrection in the season three finale.
"I'm so excited for fans to see me in this new role and thrilled to be a part of 'Power Book III: Raising Kanan,'" Jackson said.
Jackson has been an avid fan of the series, actively giving praise to "Raising Kanan" on social media. In Dec. 2023, he expressed his desire to be on the show.
