FOX Searchlight Pictures are holding an open casting call for the role of The Notorious B.I.G. in an up-coming biopic on the life of the slain MC. Producers of the yet untitled film are looking for professional and amateur actors who resemble Biggie to submit an application.

“As it relates to the individual Christopher Wallace - his looks, his stature, what he represented, the swagger, the sensibility of the man - all those elements are very difficult to find, no matter where you go,” Wayne Barrow told the AP on Thursday (August 9). “In the typical Hollywood world, no one came to mind outside of Forest Whitaker who could capture that essence genuinely.”

Biggie's mom is thrilled that her son's story will be coming to movie screens. "There will only be one Christopher Wallace, but I’m happy that his legacy will open a door for another to walk through,” B.I.G.’s mom Voletta Wallace said in a statement to the Associated Press. “I don’t want you to just imitate him. I want to see his swagger, his style, his energy and smile come through.”

The film is being produced by Biggie's former managers Mark Pitts and Wayne Barrow.

Those interested in applying can go to Fox Searchlight - Notorious or Fox Searchlight - Notorious beginning Sunday August 12 at 3 a.m.
