Nelly Joins The Cast Of “Clear Lake”

Nelly is taking a break from Dancing With The Stars to play the role of Chuck Berry in the upcoming Buddy Holly biopic “Clear Lake.”

This won’t be his first acting gig: Nelly has performed in many movies and television shows during his career. His first big role was in the 2005 movie “The Longest Yard.” He also had his own reality TV series called “Nellyville.”

“Clear Lake” will tell the story of how Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P “The Big Bopper” helped solidify rock and roll into American culture and impacted the Civil Rights Movement.

The three superstars also unfortunately met their end together, dying in a plane crash in Clear Lake, also known as “The Day The Music Died.”
