Outkast’s Andre Stars in Basketball Comedy

Outkast rapper Andre Benjamin (alias Andre 3000) is joining actor Will Farrell in an upcoming basketball comedy, “Semi-Pro.”

The New Line Cinema film takes place during the 1970s in the now-defunct American Basketball Association as Jackie Moon (Farrell) coaches a team in the hopes of making it big.

Benjamin plays a self-styled ladies’ man who happens to be the best player on the team. Actor Woody Harrelson has also been cast in the film.

In related news, Andre is currently busy overseeing Cartoon Network’s animated series “Class Of 3000,” and his voice can also be heard in the star-studded family movie “Charlotte’s Web.”
