		<description>I&#039;m not that excited about this cameo at all, doesn&#039;t intrigue me. I used to be a fan of Eminem when his first albums came out but then his whole bit got old really fast. My friend let me borrow his new album and was completely turned off by it. He does have a good ability for rapping, but the content that he raps about just got old. And never really saw 8 Mile but I hardly doubt it would be difficult to play yourself in a movie so I can&#039;t say that he is &quot;great actor&quot; either. But since this is a comedy I am sure that I will laugh either way.</description>

		<description>I disagree with downplaying Eminem&#039;s role in 8 Mile by saying he was &quot;just playing himself&quot;. There is a big difference between your natural responses to real life events as they occur and then &quot;acting&quot; those same scenarios. Just because you may have lived through certain events doesn&#039;t mean you can then reenact them perfectly and easily.

As for the character just being himself, that&#039;s equally as silly to say. To begin with, I don&#039;t think you know the man well enough to make that assessment, you&#039;re just basing that off marketing which told you the character was just like Eminem. besides, just because a character has a similar personality and motivation as he may have had at one point in his life, this doesn&#039;t automatically mean he can play the part despite having no acting ability. That whole argument that playing &quot;yourself&quot; is easy makes no sense.

It seems to me a quick way of shooting down his acting ability to fit in line with the theory rappers can never act. What about Eminem? &quot;He doesn&#039;t count, he was just playing himself&quot;. What about Will Smith? &quot;He doesn&#039;t count...&quot;. What about Ice Cube? &quot;He doesn&#039;t count...&quot;.

Maybe the whole theory that rappers can&#039;t act, just doesn&#039;t have any credibility. Perhaps whether someone is a good actor or not has nothing to do with previous entertainment work.

I&#039;m not a big rap fan either by the way.</description>

		<description>Ya, I would go with Wanted as well.  When I read that graphic novel several months ago I was dumbfounded at how much he looked like Eminem.</description>

		<description>In fact the more I think about it, the surer I am, the character of Wesley from &quot;Wanted&quot; is based on Eminem. I vaguely remember reading about it in Wizard magazine.</description>
