Looks like P Diddy wants the world to know he is an actor!
Here is the first preview of the upcoming television movie A Raisin in the Sun, starring Diddy, Tony winners Phylicia Rashad and Audra McDonald, Sanaa Lathan, and John Stamos. The TV movie airs February 25, 2008.
In the trailer Diddy says, “The reason why it’s very important to me is ya’ll know me for a lot for different things–music, fashion, television and films. But you don’t really know me as an actor. I’d like to introduce my actor to you. That’s me! Sean Combs! My name is Sean Combs! You know I’ve got a lot of split personalities.”
What do you think -- does it look like the TV movie will live up to the acclaimed stage version of the show?

Howard, Rose, Rashad and Jones to Star in Broadway's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
If you're gonna do a much-revived classic, you might as well get a stellar cast. That's exactly what director Debbie Allen has done for the all-African American version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which will be revived on Broadway next year.
Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard will join Tony Award winners Anika Noni Rose, Phylicia Rashad and James Earl Jones in the Tennessee Williams play. The show will open March 6, 2008 at the Broadhurst Theater.
Howard (Hustle and Flow) will play Brick in the production, with Rose (Dreamgirls, Caroline or Change) taking on the role of Maggie, which, of course, was made famous in the film version by Elizabeth Taylor. Rashad (who is currently appearing in Cymbeline at Lincoln Center Theater) and Jones (Fences)will play Big Mama and Big Daddy.
Tickets for the production go on sale December 29.
