Cannon made his feature film debut in “Men in Black II,” going on to star in the cult classic “Drumline” and many other exciting film and TV projects. In tandem with his appearance at the Indy 500, Cannon's company, NCredible Audio, will release the N1 and AX1 wireless headphones this weekend. They are available at retail outlets across the nation.
