Producer Barrow stated on his blog:
We cast Jamal Woolard in the role of B.I.G.. Although Jamal has a bit of history of his own in the music industry, he is still relatively unknown, which we thought was an integral element in filling the role. Jamal, a Brooklyn native, has been working hard to capture the spirit of Christopher's character, the soul of the man. We are extremely excited about our choice of casting, his natural charm and charismatic demeanor is very reminiscent of B.I.G and we look forward to sharing this ride with him...
I'm gonna sign off now, but will return soon...
Blessings!

Im not saying the story isn't good. i'd love to see this movie made but made right. This guy just seems like he wont be taken seriously. as u can see already the majority of those posting on here agree that he looks rediculous.
