Lamar Jackson is doing more than just playing football at the moment.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback has added actor to his CV, having made his acting debut in an episode of the popular ‘Power’ series this week.
Jackson, the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the 2023 season, has been a longtime fan of the franchise created by hip-hop icon 50 Cent and was surprised to be offered a role on the hit series.
While the QB was pretty nervous about transitioning from football to TV this abruptly, he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Jackson made an appearance as the character “E-Tone” in Episode 9 of Season 4 and is shown committing a murder in a bathroom in one scene, shooting a victim in the head with a silenced pistol while he stands in front of a sink.

Jackson’s Ravens teammates were pretty excited for him, with some of them now referring to him as “E-Tone” on the back of his debut.
Time will tell if Jackson continues taking up roles in the entertainment industry or whether he will choose to stick to what he does best, at least until his career on the field is over.
