Cudi’s character in the show (to me) is him acting naturally, just more rehearsed, a little restricted, and sober. When first casted he mentioned he was gonna be a kid working in a bakery, not sure if that’s still included in the show or not. Meet hip-hop-star-turned-actor Scott Kid Cudi Mescudi who plays Domingo in the HBO comedy series “How to Make It in America.” For more information, log onto HBO.com.
