Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson is out to prove that he can do it all. Despite being one of the best quarterbacks in the league, he is now set to make his acting debut.

PEOPLE revealed that Jackson has booked a role in the fan-favorite series, "Power Book III: Raising Kanan." According to the exclusive report from PEOPLE:
"Jackson will appear as a guest star in just one episode, playing a character named E-Tone, who is described as an 'intimidating figure not to be messed with.'"

Jackson also commented on his new foray, "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."
Images of Jackson's character were also shared on his Instagram page.
Much like the description of the character, Jackson appears to look very angry in the images shared for his new character. There is no telling if Jackson will continue acting, but he is set to appear in one episode of the new series.
"Power Book III: Raising Kanan" is a spinoff of the fan-favorite "Power" series, which first debuted in 2014, and is comprised of six seasons.
Following the success of the first series, "Power Book II: Ghost," "Power Book III: Raising Kanan," and "Power Book IV: Force" were all devised and feature deeper looks at some of the original series' favorite characters.
Jackson helped lead the Ravens to a 12-5 record in the 2024 season. Despite the strong record, the team was eliminated from playoff contention by the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Jackson was also nominated for his third MVP but lost to Bills' star Josh Allen. So far, Jackson has secured two MVP wins in the 2019 and 2023 seasons. He nearly won his third and back-to-back MVP nods in 2024.
The Ravens are one of the best teams in the league, and that is in large part due to the strong skill set of Jackson. He can throw the ball downfield, and also rifle off a 40-yard run.
Baltimore has struggled to make it to the big game, but they have been close in the last few seasons. Hopefully, they can get past their rivals in the Bills and Chiefs, and make it to the Super Bowl in 2025.
