With plans for more acting and movie producing projects in 2009, Diddy has fully immersed himself in becoming an actor and was recently a cast member on the television crime drama “CSI Miami.”
“When I started on the journey as an actor, people didn’t think I could accomplish it,” he says. “I still have a long way to go and I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to do it as it’s one of the most exciting things I have ever done.”
Although he’s tight-lipped about naming any specific movie projects, Diddy has plans to star in two or possibly three films this year.
“In order to be a great actor, you have to give all of yourself. You have to be able to expose yourself naked and acting has taught me how to give more,” he says. “It’s definitely been a journey and it has been hard making that transition, but I am always constantly trying to reinvent myself and I am always pushing forward. I am always trying to be the best that I can be and make sure that I am growing as a person.”
