Calling All B.I.G. Actors
Christopher Wallace wanna-bes are in luck as Fox Searchlight has yet to find a suitable Biggie Smalls via its upload-a-video audition so they're taking it to the streets.
Do you look like this man?
Can you convincingly rap the lines:
"The doctor said I need about three weeks of recovery/
but the nurses is lovin me/
Sayin the best part of the day is my half/
Feedin me breakfast, and givin me a sponge bath."
Obviously no actor is willing to pull a "Raging Bull" like Robert De Niro and put on the pounds it would take to be a convincing B.I.G., which means Fox Searchlight continues to look for an unknown to play the deservedly heralded rapper.
All unattractive 6' 3", 300-plus pound actors and rappers can plead their case to play Notorious B.I.G. in the biopic on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at City Stages, 435 W. 19th ST. in New York.
