Evidently all those Grammys weren't enough for Ed Sheeran because he's taking his talents to the small screen.
It was just announced that the musician landed a recurring role on the FX show The Bastard Executioner, which according to The Hollywood Reporter is "a blood-soaked medieval epic that tells the story of a 14th century warrior whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of a journeyman executioner." Intense, right?
Ed's taking on the role of Sir Cormac, an "ambitious and deadly protégé of a high-ranking church elder." And since the series is filming in the U.K., he won't have to travel too far to take on this new project, which is a good thing for us — that means he still has a lot of time to keep producing those chart-topping hits.
If Ed's acting chops are anywhere near as good as his singing, we think good ol' Sir Cormac will be in good hands.
