RZA – Rappers Who Became Movie Stars

After first appearing in a handful of projects by writer-director Jim Jarmusch like 'Coffee and Cigarettes', RZA (aka Robert Diggs) quickly demonstrated he had as much of an aptitude for acting as he did an affection for the art form as a whole. Admittedly, RZA is a little stiff on screen, but that’s oddly a virtue given many of the characters he plays, and in roles like Blind Master in 'G.I. Joe Retaliation,' he ends up being one of the best things about the movie, if only because he seems to best live up to the source material’s legacy as a series of poseable action figures.
