When we first reported that the makers of the Notorious B.I.G. biopic were searching for an unknown to play the film’s title role, we were inundated with Biggie wannabes hoping to make it big as Big. Now MTV News reports that somebody big (and famous) has auditioned to play the legendary Brooklyn MC: Philly rapper Beanie Sigel. “Who else better to play that role, man?” he asked. “I know how much passion I’d put into it. I know how far I would go. I would treat that like Jamie [Foxx] did Ray.” Open auditions are still taking place, however: The latest will happen Saturday, October 6th in New York City (interested parties should prepare to read from an audition script and make a casting video; instructions can be found here).
