Acting and working WITH directors is a lot different from being a singer/rapper and suddenly deciding you can act. Mel learned a lot about directing by working WITH dozens of directors.

Ditto for Eastwood.

And none of Jackson’s performances indicate any shred of talent and prove that he is a better rapper than an actor.

Wow. So first of all I agree that 50 Cent has not turned in a single quality role. That being said I don’t get the venom being channeled into this whole “he is a rapper and not an actor” thread of discussion.

Mel Gibson was a good actor and then also became a great director.

Ditto for Eastwood.

Ditto for Costner (okay, really hit and miss on both the acting and directing)

And while none of his performances to date indicate that Mr. Jackson is going to evolve into a great or even good (or heck even watchable) actor I don’t think its fair to slam on someone for trying something else.

If he ends of blowing in this role then its fair game to pile on the performance and even Stallone’s decision to cast him when lots of other great alternatives were available (Snipes and others mentioned in previous comments).

Some of the comments here make me think of a high school guidance counselor … trying to slot everyone into a little box.

Did you manage to keep a straight face the ENTIRE time you typed “50′s not that bad of an actor”?

He ISN’T an actor.

Its not just his role in Get Rich, it was his role in… oh wait, it was every time he tries to pretend he is an actor.

I know he is trying, but he is stunt casting and nothing more.

Oh come on, 50′s not that bad of an actor. I actually think most people are pleasently surprised by his role in GET RICH.

Android, at least Seth Rogen is an ACTOR. You might not like his style, but he IS an actor.

If Seth was trying to start a career as a hardcore rapper, I would mock him just the same.

And “being shot a few times” just means you are a retard, its not something that gives you credit. Taking a bullet doesn’t make you a better rapper, and being a rapper doesn’t make you an actor.
