In certain circumstances, the lines between music, television, and movies mix. Such people as Derek Luke blur this line, as he has played in classic films accepted by hip hop. Also, he is forever known for his role as Puffy in Notorious, the Notorious B.I.G. biopic.
Derek Luke experienced a major comeback, a year ago, when he was cast as Malcolm on “Empire.” Hired by Lucious (Terrence Howard) as head of security, he soon had his hands full of Cookie. Playing opposite of Taraji P. Henson helped put him back on the map.
Recently, Derek Luke stopped by “Sway In The Morning” to discuss his new film, Rogue, and the current election. Of course, he also talked about his role as Diddy on Notorious. During the interview, he revealed Diddy personally chose him for the role.
