His song "Kidz" was previously included in the soundtrack to Kidulthood (2006) which led to Drew being cast in the sequel.
In 2009, Drew had another supporting role as Noel Winters in the Daniel Barber film Harry Brown starring Michael Caine. In 2010, Drew appeared in Noel Clarke's film 4.3.2.1,. Drew's most recent acting actively has been co-starring in The Sweeney based on the '70s UK TV show of the same name alongside Ray Winstone, playing the role of George Carter.

Famous quotes containing the word acting:
“Surely, ‘tis one step towards acting well, to think worthily of our nature; and as in common life, the way to make a man honest, is, to suppose him so ... so here, to set some value upon ourselves, enables us to support the character ... of generosity and virtue.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“It is not enough to ask, ‘Will my act harm other people?’ Even if the answer is No, my act may still be wrong, because of its effects on other people. I should ask, ‘Will my act be one of a set of acts that will together harm other people?’ The answer may be Yes. And the harm to others may be great. If this is so, I may be acting very wrongly, like the Harmless Torturers.”
—Derek Parfit (b. 1943)
“I would rather miss the mark acting well than win the day acting basely.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
