Aug 13 2007Fox Looking for Biggie
After realizing there's a starting lack of young, fat, black actors in Hollywood,* and not wanting to cast Anthony Anderson, producers for the Notorious B.I.G. biopic are looking out to homes and Wendy's across America in search of the perfect Biggie. If you have the look, the voice, the "swagger," and the ability to rhythmically describe the ongoing correlation between money and problems, they want you.
*I forgot about Goodburger.

Who will gain the most weight for this role first: Will Smith or Jamie Foxx?

The should go outside the norms and cast me, a skinny whiteboy. No one would see it coming. And just as many people would care.

Guerilla Black is perfect for the role. He sounds just like him and he is also a fat, black, rapper. DONE and DONE.

fuck biggie. that fat fucker couldn't rhyme to save his life.
Tupac on the other hand was a poet. His death didn't lead to the rise of Poof Daddy.
Fuck you smalls.

Is the barely visible face shot because a full picture of Biggie would hog too much bandwidth?

Like it really matters. How could Fox actually expect a movie like this to make money. White people won't see it. And the black people who would see it (i.e. Thugs, gangsters, etc.) will just buy the bootleg. What a waste.
