American rapper Eminem has released five video albums and appeared in various music videos, films, and television programs. His first song to have an official music video was his first single "Just Don't Give a Fuck". Eminem subsequently starred in the music videos for songs such as "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady", "The Way I Am", "Stan", "Without Me", "Lose Yourself", "Mockingbird", "Not Afraid", "Love the Way You Lie", "Rap God", "The Monster", "River" and "Godzilla".

After small roles in the 2001 film The Wash and as an extra in the 1998 Korn music video for "Got the Life" (during which he gave the band a demo tape), Eminem made his Hollywood debut in the semi-autobiographical 2002 film 8 Mile. He said it was a representation of growing up in Detroit rather than an account of his life. Eminem recorded several new songs for the soundtrack, including "Lose Yourself" (which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003 and became the longest-running No. 1 hip hop single in history).
He voiced an aging, corrupt, African American Vernacular English-speaking police officer in the video game 50 Cent: Bulletproof and guested on the Comedy Central television show Crank Yankers and a Web cartoon, The Slim Shady Show. Eminem had a cameo appearance, arguing with Ray Romano, in the 2009 film Funny People. He played himself in the Entourage season-seven finale "Lose Yourself" with Christina Aguilera. Eminem had a cameo appearance as himself in the 2014 film The Interview.
