Usher: "I'll Keep Acting"  8/21/06

Usher has vowed to continue acting, despite the failure of movie In the Mix, his first big screen lead role.

The 2005 film was slated by critics and performed poorly at the box office.

But the singer refuses to give up.

He tells the New York Daily News, "I didn't really have any thoughts on that other than the reality of it. Every time you put out an album - or put out anything - you hope that it's going to be as successful as possible.

"I could view it as an accomplishment - there are many people who never get a chance to act in anything. But every film an actor does (can't be) a blockbuster. So you know, I guess I got to get back up there and continue to do it."
