Listen to Kid Cudi on iHeartRadio

Kid Cudi is about to show that he can do more than just rap, by gearing up to appear in the new flick Need for Speed based on the EA Sports video game series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he is set to make his film debut alongside "Breaking Bad" actor Aaron Paul.

In the movie, Paul's character is a racer, who is framed for the death of his friend, and seeks revenge by joining a cross-country New York-to-Los Angeles race. Cudi will play a member of his crew. 

This isn't Cudi's first time acting. He was featured in HBO's "How to Make it in America" and once made an appearance on "One Tree Hill."
