Mos Def has just signed on to join the cast of HBO’s newest comedy “Enlightened” which also co-stars Laura Dern. This will be the first full-time regular role for Mos Def in TV as he plays one of the main characters in the show. According to DHD, the comedy centers around Dern as a self-destructive woman who has a spiritual awakening and decides to live an enlightened life, which creates havoc at home and work. Mos Def will play her new boss when she returns to work.
Mighty Mos has been slowly transitioning to more and more TV work having most recently appeared in “House.” No word yet when HBO plans to premiere the first episode of “Enlightened” but it looks like HBO has a nice formula going on hiring rappers to their new shows. Kid Cudi was recently signed on for a second season of HBO’s “How to Make it in America.”
