Notorious B.I.G. Movie Casting Call Answered Loud Clear

Saturday’s hopefuls included look-alikes, dress-alikes and talk-alikes. From left: Berwin Renna, Ray Louisma and Antonio Davis. They came from Massachusetts, Florida, and Canada, and from Flatbush, Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy. There were fur coats and fedoras, shades and patterned Coogi sweaters, and enough extra poundage to tip a Mack truck. On Saturday, nearly 100 people turned up on a quiet street in Chelsea to audition for their chance to be B.I.G.Arriving on foot, by Escalade or late-model sedan, men of all ages and backgrounds — but mostly one body type — came for the open casting call for “Notorious,” a biopic of the rapper Christopher G. Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G.

I'm anxious to know who gets chosen to play this role and even more interested who they choose to play Tupac!
