Video surfaced of a teenage Drake doing improvisational comedy at the Rivoli Theater in Toronto. The clip was dug up thanks to a new CBC feature on the historic theater. Although early in his acting career, the rapper-to-be shows off a side of himself that is reminiscent to his recent performances on SNL.
Drake’s acting experience goes back to when he starred in the hit Canadian teen soap, Degrassi: The Next Generation. In the clip, Drake’s awkward charm is on full effect and it’s entertaining to see that not much has really changed through out the years.
