Casper Smart doesn't need ex-J Lo to make it in Hollywood

Washington: Jennifer Lopez's former beau has landed a co-starring role in an upcoming movie 'Wild for the Night.'

The 27-year-old actor, who has been recently working with big stars like Nicki Minaj, will be playing the role of a bad guy and choreographing all the dances in the flick about electric dance music, TMZ.com reported.

Smart, who broke up with Lopez in April, has filled his time by choreographing Minaj's 'Anaconda' music video, appearing on 'The Big Bang Theory,' choreographing the opening act at the MTV VMA's, starring in a film called 'Street,' choreographing Jessie J's music video for 'Burnin' Up' and buing a new house.

Smart has revealed that he has a secret to success after his split with the 'On the Floor' singer.
