Singer-actor Justin Timberlake credits his role as Sean Parker in The Social Network with furthering his acting career. The Sexy Back hitmaker landed several small film roles before appearing in the 2010 movie about Mark Zuckerberg, but he feels David Fincher's drama properly launched him as an actor, reported Contactmusic.
“I’ll tell you what sort of changed things for me was literally when director David Fincher hired me. It did open up a huge door for me. And the opportunities started to happen,” Timberlake said.
One chance Timberlake could not miss was the role in Joel and Ethan Coen’s upcoming movie.
