Degrassi actor Drake recently discussed his admiration toward United States President Barack Obama and said he could portray Obama in a movie.

“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.

Slowly but surely, I’m not in the study mode because nobody’s called me about anything, but I just pay attention so when the day comes I’m not scrambling to learn how to speak like him. I want to be involved in great film projects. I don’t want to do the basketball movie that everyone does. I don’t want to do the typical black film that everyone expects. I think that I have enough experience to actually be involved in a real meaty project full of substance.”

Drake is not American and being a bit actor on one little teenager cable show doesnt qualify him to play the president. I believe if a movie is made about Obama we can get a real actor to play the president, Maybe Denzel Washington.
