Is Casting Biggie Smalls Impossible? Pretty Much

Voletta Wallace (Notorious’ moms) says to fill the requirements of playing her son Biggie Smalls, all on needs to do is have size 13 shoes, weigh around 230lbs and can act capture B.I.G.’s swagger (not to mention can carry the weight of one multi-million dollar film on their shoulders, as they’re likely going to be an unknown). Sure, no problem. We’re willing to bet this film will literally take years to cast (like it hasn’t already, hence this big campaign to plus-size schmucks the world round). Best of luck with this one. [ed. This video wont embed properly. Feel free to assume that further fucks the chances of ever casting this thing and then watch the semi-desperate plea to find Big Poppa)
