Lamar Jackson teases first look at shock career change just days after cryptic $276m Bengals post
Lamar Jackson is adding another string to his bow. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback is following Travis Kelce‘s example and dipping his toes into in the entertainment world. Jackson is moving into the acting worldGetty The two-time NFL MVP will make his acting debut on the upcoming season of Starz’ “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” as a guest star. The Baltimore signal caller will play the role of E-Tone, and will be guest starring in just one episode of the fourth season, according to People. “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.” My character, E-Tone is a deadly, dangerous character- you don’t want to get on his bad side!” Jackson posted on Instagram with a glimpse at his character. In “Raising Kanan,” Jackson is set to feature alongside stars such as Omar Epps and Joey Bada$$. The show follows a younger Kanan, who was played by executive producer and rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson on previous Starz series “Power.” The 28-year-old will make his first real foray into the entertainment world after featuring in a commercial for Gatorade and the NFL’s “Pro Era II” virtual reality game. In addition, Jackson has a soul food restaurant, a personal clothing line (Era 8), a production company, and a record label. The first-team All-Pro posted a career-best 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns while throwing just four interceptions in 2024. The Ravens won the AFC North with a 12-5 record before falling to the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs.
