Beanie Siegel Auditions for ‘Notorious’ Role
While producers continue searching for the ideal candidate to portray the late rapper Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G., in a forthcoming biopic, Philadelphia’s Beanie Siegelis convinced he’s found the perfect fit — himself. “The fact that I’ma huge B.I.G. fan… is why I did it,” the lash-tongued rapper told MTV.com,explaining the reasoning behind his audition for the film’s lead part.”Who else better to play that role, man? That’s not me being biased ortooting my own horn. I’m not comparing myself to Biggie career-wise orlyrically, but to pull that off, and have people believing that, Idon’t think nobody else could play that role better than I could. Iknow how much passion I’d put into it. I know how far I would go… I’dlove to have a shot at it.”
But Siegel, who faces a large poolof seasoned actors, as well as avid fans determined to snag the part,has yet to receive word from producers. “You know how they say inHollywood; ‘Don’t call us, we’ll call you.’ We’ll see. But if I was toget it, I’d love it.”
