Rapper Kanye West is reportedly looking for a prominent role in a `laugh out loud comedy`.

West has said in the past that he wants to spread his wings and dabble in other spheres of the entertainment industry outside music, reports contactmusic.com.

Just last year, he managed to get a cameo spot in Will Ferrell's comedy sequel `Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.`

A source told the American edition of OK! magazine that "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy", the 2004 original to that film, piqued West's interest in comedy acting, and that “he's told his agent to find him a role in a big comedy, but so far no one's interested.`
