From rhymes to television screens, Joey Bada$$ captivates in any form of entertainment he touches. The Brooklyn native turned 30 on Monday, January 20, and released his surprise track “Sorry Not Sorry” as a dedication to fans. Still, when Joey isn’t in the recording booth, he’s making his mark in television and film.

While the “2000” rapper has dreams of portraying late Harlem emcee Big L in a biopic, he’s already proven his talent in shows like former drama-thriller “Mr. Robot” and Academy Award-winning short film “Two Distant Strangers.” As a belated birthday tribute, we reflect on five of Joey’s most memorable acting roles.

“Mr. Robot”

Following his debut album “B4.Da.$$,” Joey made his breakthrough as Leon on the former hit series “Mr. Robot.” Opposite Rami Malek as antisocial tech engineer and hacker Elliot Anderson, the charismatic and street-smart Leon goes undercover as an agent meant to protect Anderson from fellow inmates during a brief prison stint.

“Boomerang”

It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t mention the beloved BET romantic comedy “Boomerang,” where Joey played Camden, Simone's ex-boyfriend (Tetona Jackson). While Simons sorts out her feelings for Bryson (Tequan Richmond), she occasionally leans on Camden as a distraction.

“Wu-Tang: An American Saga”

Although his time on “An American Saga” was short-lived due to a scheduling conflict, Joey made his presence known by portraying Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck, originally known as Rebel. Uyoata Udi would replace the rapper-actor in the show’s final two seasons.

“Two Distant Strangers”

In the Oscar-winning short “Two Distant Strangers,” Carter James, played by Joey, bravely confronts law enforcement in a time loop, where he’s repeatedly faced with the interaction’s fatal outcome. The film earned Best Live Action Short Film at the 93rd Academy Awards for its heart-wrenching storyline.

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”

For three seasons, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” Joey held down “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” as Unique. As a foe to queenpin Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller) in the crime drama, Unique hustles hard among the finest dealers in South Jamaica, which results in his tragic demise.
