Aspiring rapper Kevin Federline has won himself a role in a hip-hop movie, it has been revealed.

The husband of Britney Spears will make his acting debut in musical movie Caught on Tape, written and directed by rapper and star of the TV version of vampire series Blade, Sticky Fingaz.

The "hardcore musical" will feature plenty of sex, violence, action, drama and romance, Sticky said.

He said: "Kev Fed is going to be in it, it's his acting debut. He's really cool, he's dope. Just keep the paparazzi away from him and he'll be ok," the Sun reported.

He added: "They almost ran me off the road trying to take pictures of Kev. I'm like, 'dude, hey, I'm the talent, he's just married to somebody'."

Ex-backing dancer Federline's debut rap album, Playing With Fire, is set be released at the end of the month.

Wife Britney has also made forays into acting, including a starring role in 2002 movie Crossroads, which was poorly received by critics.
