OutKast member Andre 3000 has maintained a silence of sorts on the music front. However, it has just been announced that he will join Season 2 of ABC’s hit series ‘American Crime’ staring Regina Bell.

Details below…

Assuming the role of architect, Michael Lacroix, Andre (who will be credited by his real name, Andre Benjamin) will join his wife who’s son will commit a major storyline crime. Benjamin re-teams with his director on the Jimi Hendrix biopic ‘All Is by My Side’ John Ridley who offered these comments:

“Personally, I couldn’t be more excited than to work again with Andre. He is an amazing individual, a true artist, and ‘All Is by My Side’ is one of the reasons I was given the reins on ‘American Crime.’ Folks at ABC were absolutely moved by Andre’s performance in the film, and by the overall language of cinema we used in telling the story. It’s fair to say ‘American Crime’ might not exist were it not for our previous collaboration.” {Source}

While we salue Andre on landing such a huge role, one can’t help but wonder when the next body of work from the ‘Hey Ya’ performance will ever see the light of day.
