"I'm going to try to be the next Will Smith"
Shad Moss, aka Bow Wow, is focusing on acting full time. Moss has joined the upcoming fifth season of HBO's "Entourage" in a recurring role, playing Charlie, a new stand-up comic client of E (Kevin Connolly).
Additionally, he has landed a role opposite Forest Whitaker, rapper Lil Wayne and Isaiah Washington in the Weinstein Co.'s sports drama Patriots, about a high school basketball team in post-Katrina Louisiana.
"After 16 years in the music industry and six successful albums, I've decided to shift my energy to something else I'm passionate about, acting," Moss said. "I'm going to try to be the next Will Smith."

...started young as hell. If he's 21 or so now, I wouldn't be surprised that he started at 5 years old.

I'll give him credit he came a long way. He was terrible when he first started out then eventually got better. Doubt the acting thing will work out though.
