Casting underway for biopic
Producers of the upcoming “Notorious B.IG” movie aren’t just on the lookout for someone to play the big man himself, but some of his playin’ pals…
Casting agencies were informed this week that several other characters, including P.Diddy and Faith Evans, are being cast.
Diddy is described as “In his 20s, African American, good-looking, charismatic and stylish, he’s a cocky, hard-working, ambitious executive at Uptown Records who is blown away by Biggie’s skills and tells Biggie to stop dealing drugs or they won’t work with him. Fired from his position, Puffy doesn’t miss a beat and starts up his own label, Bad Boy Records. After a few rough starts, the label hits it big, bringing fame to Puffy and everyone he touches. Puffy wants to change the world, and we get the feeling he just might succeed.”
Evans is “Seen in her late teens to early 20s, she is a beautiful, talented singer with a background in gospel music and the first female artist to be signed to Puffy’s Bad Boy record label. To Biggie’s surprise, she also has beat box skills. Faith and Biggie meet at a photo shoot, and get married shortly after, to their friends’ astonishment. She deeply loves B.I.G. but his interests lie elsewhere.”
Now remember, don’t call me about these auditions – – I’m only the binge-drinking messenger.
