Since the casting call started, many people who look-alikes, dress-alikes and talk-alikes are coming from all over the map wearing fur coats and fedoras, shades and patterned Coogi sweaters, and enough extra poundage to audition for their chance to be the rapper Christopher G. Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G. The picture above shows three of the casting call candidates, from left: Berwin Renna, Ray Louisma and Antonio Davis, dreaming BIG to be the B.I.G.
“Finding Biggie is going to be a task in itself,” said Voletta Wallace, Biggie’s Mom
The hunt for the unknown star began online in August, when the Fox Searchlight studio invited would-be Biggies to send audition tapes. “Finding Biggie is going to be a task in itself,” Voletta Wallace, the rapper’s mother and a producer of the film, said in a video on Biggiecasting.com (Watch the video).
Her son, who died a decade ago, at 24, in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, stood about 6 foot 3, weighed nearly 300 pounds, and had a cocksure, easy-flowing but hard-to-imitate style.
“Anyone who felt that they can fill that shoe, can do that swagger, can try the lyrical tone, I’m welcoming them,” Ms. Wallace said. And on Saturday swagger, at least, was in great supply.
Watch Ms. Wallace speaking on the �Notorious� casting call:
