“She gave me a real opportunity, not just on some — some real lines I’m just tapping into this,” he said. “And just her response to how I’m moving, she gave me a lot of credit for it and I’m just thinking as I walk away, “Wow, who could’ve imagined this!” I didn’t recite [any] lines or read the script until that morning.”
This isn’t the first time Ross has shown off his acting abilities, fans might remember the “Sum Different,” artist in Starz’s Magic City series back in 2013 playing Butterball, a Bolita mobster boss in Miami.
