Snoop Dogg is to star in a new animated comedy series made by The Comedy Central network.
The network announced this week that it had ordered a pilot episode with plans for a series to air between late 2008 / early 2009.
Variety magazine says the series will chronicle the adventures of a 15 year-old Snoop Dogg, as he grows up in 1980's Long Beach.
Apparently the rapper will execute produce alonside Tom Lynch, who worked on the Andre 3000 series Class of 3000.
Comedy Central's senior VP of programming and development Lauren Corrao say, "We've been looking to get into business with Snoop, who's always fantastic on our roasts. He's one of those people who truly crosses over between music and comedy."
Snoop Dogg has also just released his new album Ego Trippin' in the US, while UK fans will get the record on March 31st.
