T.I. has done a handful of acting gigs and at just 35 Years old he seems to want to get into more serious roles. Variety is reporting that A&E is going to be rebooting “Roots” which was a TV miniseries back in 1977 which was actually based on the novel by Alex Haley. T.I. has joined the cast and the cast is made up of some big time acting talents like Forest Whitaker, Mehki Phifer, Laurence Fishburne, and more. T.I. is going to play a headstrong slave who fights for his freedom in the Union army named Cyrus. This seems really interesting but we’ll have to wait and see if T.I. has got the acting chops to pull off this character.
