According to People, rapper Kanye West is planning to expand his professional resume and include “animiated series” into his portfolio. The Chicago native, along with actresses Sanaa Lathan and Taraji P. Henson will star in the new Family Guy spin-off series, “The Cleveland Show.” Sanaa plays Cleveland’s wife, Donna, and will be a regular on the show.

“It was surprising to us that [he] was so into it that he came to the table [read], and wonderfully surprising how cool he was, how funny he was and how unassuming he was,” says executive producer Mike Henry, who voices Cleveland Brown and other characters on the show. “He’s just a great presence.” West then spent three hours in the studio Friday laying down his voice as not-so-mega-star rapper Kenny West.

“We knew Kanye was a big Family Guy fan because he invited [creator] Seth [MacFarlane] to his house a year or two ago,” adds Henry. “And there was a mention on his blog when the spin-off was announced that he was excited about it. We knew he was a big fan and a lot of us are fans of his.”
