The actor isn't really "becoming" a rapper, but returning to his day job. He formerly released a hip-hop album as a member of Organized Rhyme, which, due to its lack of butt humor, animal fondling or dangerous stunts was completely ignored by most of America.

"You just hope you never are involved in something like this," Niggemeyer said of the incident.

Killed in the shooting were: DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, 38; Nathan Bray, 23, of Grove City; Erin Halk, 29, of Columbus; Jeff Thompson, 40, of Texas; and Gale, 25.

Niggemeyer said he didn't know much about what was going on when he entered the nightclub.
