Andre 3000 for Sammy Davis Jr role?

Andre 3000 is set for the role of Rat Pack legend Sammy Davis Jr in a forthcoming movie, according to a report in the New York Times.

The story will concentrate on Davis’ relationship with the actress Kim Novak, which caused controversy at the time due to its interracial nature.

Andre 3000 has gained much experience as an actor in recent times with appearances in Idlewild and Charlotte’s Web. He is currently working on the basketball-themed film ‘Semi-Pro’ with Will Ferrell.
