Mos Def x House. Mos Def is one of the few rapper/actors that doesn’t have to rely on TV guest appearances to build up his Hollywood reputation. He already has a full blown acting career and more important, has won over the hearts of producers and directors for his past performances. However, it’s hard to turn down a guest spot on a top rated TV show.

Mos Def will guest star on the hit FOX show “House” on March 23rd. In the episode Mos plays Lee, a man who awakens in New York after a bicycle accident who is unable to move or communicate in any way. House, then gets into a motorcycle injury himself and occupies the hospital bed next to Lee and quickly annoys the doctors treating them both by insisting that Lee has “locked-in” syndrome. From there it’s up to House to save Mr. Def.

Mos Def will be making his way back onto the big screen with the upcoming action/comedy film Next Day Air. Check out the trailer and poster art here. Movie hits theaters May 8, 2009. Via: CL
