Tip “T.I.” Harris has slowly and surely been inching his way back into acting prominence after starring in this year’s Ant-Man from Marvel Studios. Now, the self-proclaimed King Of The South has signed a talent and development deal with Warner Bros. Television that may lead to new opportunities on the small screen.
Details of Harris’ new deal was reported on by Deadline, sharing more of what this means for the Atlanta rapper as he continues to grow his already sprawling empire. Essentially, the deal gives Tip free reign to pitch ideas to the studios with an understanding he’ll serve an executive producer’s role. But, there could also be a chance that the charming entertainer could also see himself in front of the camera as well if Warner Bros. thinks a show could work.
From Deadline:
In television, T.I. has done seasonlong arcs on Showtime’s House Of Lies and Starz’s Boss. T.I. recently completed production of Season 5 of his hit VH1 reality series The Family Hustle. His recent feature credits include Marvel’s Ant-Man and Warner Bros’ Get Hard and Entourage. T.I., who just wrapped the Sleepless Night remake opposite Jamie Foxx, is repped by UTA, Category 5’s Brian Sher, and attorney Jason Sloane.
Congrats to Tip!
