G.O.O.D Music is switching it up for the fresh, young phenom Kid Cudi; Cudi's sights are not for music nowadays, it's the acting business.

The new HBO series, which will feature Cudi, is called "How To Make It In America", and it's produced by the same people that brought you Entourage. Kid Cudi told revealed to the Arizona Republic "I have a lead role. My name character's name is Domingo Dean. I actually named my character after both of my brothers- Dean, who lives in Phoenix, being one of them, and Domingo.

Although his music career is pretty much at it's pinnacle, he wants no part of being typecast because of his music.

“It has no reference to my music. It was important to me early on to branch away from music and actually do something outside my comfort zone,” elaborated Cudi. “When we were developing my character with the writers, I was telling them, ‘Man, I don't want to be anything that has to do with music,’ just because that's not really acting.”.

Although Cudi's acting career is set to launch, his debut album Man On The Moon:The End Of The Day is still set to take off September 15th. Some big names are also said to be featured such as Snoop Dogg, The Clipse, Common, and Kanye West. Production is also credited to Kanye, as is to Will.I.Am, and Just Blaze.
