If you're wondering what Nick Cannon's been up to lately, rest assured he hasn't been taking a break from the business. Leaving the Hollywood Blockbusters behind, Cannon has gone the indie route. In 2006 Cannon played a featured role in Emilio Esteves' BOBBY (centered around the night of Bobbby Kennedy's Assassination). In American Son he plays a 19-year old Marine who's just graduated from Boot Camp. The film encompasses his last weekend back home before departing off to Iraq. I've never been a fan of Nick Cannon's, but I applaud him for the courage to take on more serious roles in his career.
