Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Very few people in entertainment history have achieved equal success in all three of the main genres; music, film and television. The most obvious example is Elvis Presley. There are others, such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Madonna, who have all made courageous attempts at crossing the boundaries but with varying degrees of success. The main problem that they encounter is that, once you are renowned for excellence in one field, it becomes difficult to be accepted in another. That is unless you can combine all three so cleverly, and to such great effect, that you become as famous for being an actor as you are a singer. One man in particular has not only achieved this, but he has done it with such grace and cool that no one has ever thought to question which area he actually specialises in. He has just drifted effortlessly from being the funkiest rapper in the charts, to being the funniest guy on TV. Since then his genius has been rewarded with the status of Hollywood superstar.
