Lamar Jackson's Acting Debut: From NFL Star to 'Power Book III: Raising Kanan'

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson makes his acting debut in 'Power Book III: Raising Kanan,' playing the dangerous character E-Tone.

Lamar Jackson, the dynamic quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, is set to make his acting debut in the hit Starz series 'Power Book III: Raising Kanan'. Jackson will portray a character named E-Tone, described by the NFL star as a "deadly, dangerous character -- you don't want to get on his bad side."

Jackson's role is expected to intertwine with Unique, the series' antagonist, who made a dramatic return in the season three finale. The Ravens quarterback has been a vocal fan of the show, even expressing his desire to appear on it back in December 2023.
