Pop star Ricky Martin is raring to act in films and series but he says there have been very few offers coming his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 49-year-old Puerto Rican singer is regarded as the King of Latin Pop, courtesy hit tracks such as “Maria”, “Livin’ La Vida Loca”, “Nobody Wants to Be Lonely ” and “Jaleo”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an actor, he is best known for featuring in prominent parts in Ryan Murphy’s “Glee” and “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During an interview with People magazine, Martin said he is eager to act as he can play a variety of characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I love acting. I’m waiting for those scripts, for those great scripts. I can play gay, I can play straight, I can play a serial killer. I can play Latin, but I can also play European. I am ready. Just give it to me, man. Give it to me,” the singer-actor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin, who came out as gay 10 years ago, wondered if his sexuality was the reason for the lack of acting opportunities for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I don’t know if I’m not getting parts because I’m gay. But if that’s the case, it’s really sad. I’m going to keep working until life is different,” he said.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
