Might Jordin Sparks soon pull a Jennifer Hudson?

While it's ambitious for the American Idol champion to be clearing away a spot on her mantel for an Academy Award, it sounds as though the young star wouldn't mind a movie role here or there.

She said as much to MTV in a recent interview:

"I would love to do some acting," Sparks said. "I did musical theater back home, and I love being on the stage and acting out. It's so cool to become a different character for a little bit, so if the opportunity comes along, I'd love to do a movie or Broadway. If I ever actually have the time, I'd love to do it."
