The Emmy-winning actor has been cast as a series regular on Sam Esmail’s award-winning show. There’s no word on his exact role.

Cannavale previously headlined Martin Scorsese/Mick Jagger/Terry Winter’s 1970s New York rock & roll HBO series Vinyl last year as a drug-addled record executive fingered for a mob murder.

On Boardwalk Empire, Cannavale was unforgettable for his fierce performance as torturous psycho kingpin Gyp Rosetti.

Bobby Cannavale is ready to rock ‘n’ HBO…

HBO has given a formal series pickup to the untitled rock ‘n’ roll project from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter starring the 44-year-old half-Cuban American actor.

The long-gestating drama, created by Winter, had been in the works at HBO since 2010. But the project gained momentum last year when Boardwalk Empire standout Cannavale was cast as the lead.

The untitled hourlong drama is set in 1970s New York and explores the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive (Cannavale) trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound.

Olivia Wilde, Ray Romano and Juno Temple co-star, and the cast includes Andrew Dice Clay, Ato Essandoh, Max Casella, James Jagger, Jack Quaid, Birgitte Sorenson, P.J. Byrne, J.C. MacKenzie, Bo Dietl, Robert Funaro and Joe Caniano.

Scorsese, who directed the pilot, had worked with Jagger, directing the 2008 Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light, which led to their collaboration on the rock ‘n’ roll drama.

Cannavale, who served as a series regular on Boardwalk Empire in season three, is in talks to star in an untitled rock ‘n’ roll series, which Scorsese and Winter created with the Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger.

The project, which has been in the works at HBO since 2010, hasn’t been green-lighted yet but HBO is gearing up for an early 2014 shoot with Scorsese directing the pilot that was written by Winter.

The untitled rock ‘n’ roll project follows the exploits of Richie (Cannavale), a cocaine-fueled record exec in NYC circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided.

It seems the ever-present Jennifer Lopez is popping up everywhere these days, including Will.i.am’s latest music video…

The 42-year-old Puerto Rican bombshell—who sings the chorus on Will.i.am’s latest single “T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)” featuring Mick Jagger—appears to have a serious pose-off against herself throughout the video, whether appearing on screens that pop up from the ground or in a psychedelic sequence in space.

Jennifer Lopez in Will.i.am's Hardest Ever Video

There’s no denying la Lopez looks oh-so-fine in each outfit, including her sexy, skintight lace bodysuit.

The clip could be referred to as an “evolution of speed,” as the Black Eyed Peas singer transitions from “running man” to the pilot of a spaceship zooming into another galaxy—all in less than five minutes!

Will.i.am and Lopez performed the song live for the first time at last month’s American Music Awards. It was one of Lopez’s two illuminating performances during the show, where Lopez took home the award for Favorite Latin Artist.

Check out the performance below.
