...but I just don't get this move acting-wise. One minute, he's in talks to be a lead in a big Miles Davis biopic, the next minute he's revisiting one of his least showy roles of late on the Starz network (which isn't exactly proven territory).

The only reason I understand his interest in being in it is because then people might be more inclined to watch, and as exec producer he stands to profit.

But still, stars revisiting their role from a film on a regular TV series? I just think that's a bad look.
