Snoop Dogg Set to Appear in "Entourage"

Snoop Dogg is set to further his acting career with an appearance in an upcoming episode of the HBO show "Entourage." Snoop, who admits to being a big fan of the program, conceded that he did have a hidden agenda when accepting the role.

"That’s a great show," he explained. "I’m glad they had me do that. I love good TV. HBO is doing their thing with ’Entourage’ and ’The Wire’ and ’Sopranos.’ They called me to be a part of [’Entourage’], I used that as leverage to try and be on ’The Wire,’" he continued. "You know how I get down. I’m trying to get in the system. I’m the type of person that if I love something, I’mma say it. If you an artist and you fly, I’mma tell you, ’Yo homie, I like what you do. You fly, you off the hook. Can I get with you?’ That’s how I was with ’Entourage,’ that’s how I am with ’The Wire.’ They ain’t call me yet. They just using my name in there," Snoop said referring to Snoop from "The Wire" - the homicidally unabashed hit woman who shares his name played by Felicia Pearson.

Snoop Dogg’s appearance in "Entourage" will air in July with the rap star playing himself.
