Well, at least he’s not licking his lips and blowing kisses.

Ladies love LL Cool J, but it damn sure ain’t because they think dude is a great actor. While he can reasonably proclaim himself the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) in rap, in the acting world he’s just plain goat-ass. And yet he stays getting roles, perhaps because his agent throws on sensual LL jams and rubs a lot of…backs (just a guess). On NCIS: Los Angeles, CBS’s new NCIS spinoff, which premieres tonight, he plays an ex-Navy SEAL turned undercover agent for the L.A. branch of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Based on his previous work, we don’t expect this one will stay afloat (then again, America loves the bad acting on The Mentalist). Check out clips of LL’s worst acting to see why we’ve got a sinking feeling…

But LeBron’s not the totally blatant marketing “synergy” out-of-leftfield casting choice you might think he is—it turns out dude’s been working on his acting chops for years (and not just acting bitchmade). To get an idea of how King James might do as a leading man, we took a look back at the highs and lows of his career as a thespian…
