Speaking at the launch of his latest music video for his song
"Swalla," Derulo, 27, said he wanted to find on-screen roles
that appealed to him and "build a team" to bring the projects to
life.
"Me going out on auditions and stuff like that, I don't think
that's my kind of fit," Derulo told Reuters TV.
"The role has to be perfect for me, the storyline has to be
perfect for what I'm trying to portray first and maybe it's not
the lead first, maybe it is the lead first, it just really
depends on what story I choose."
Derulo has dabbled in television with small roles in hip hop
saga "Empire" and the reboot of buddy-cop action series "Lethal
Weapon."
"Swalla," featuring rappers Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign, is
the first single from Derulo's upcoming untitled fifth studio
album, expected later this year.
The "Swalla" music video features dancers on vibrant sets, and
has registered more than 6 million views on YouTube since its
Friday release.
"My videos allow my music to be visual and people are really
drawn to my videos and I've got a lot of views because of
YouTube," Derulo said.
