WOW! He looks just like Biggie, it’s almost scary!
i THOUGHT THAT WASZ REALLY HiM BUT WHEN HE WASZ ALiVE OF COURSE LOL
I’m excited to see this film.
They made a good choice wit this guy!
Hey, Angel,
Is that Kevin Phillips in the background of tthe 1st pic? If not, I need a beating…That man i soo fine!!
Oh yea, but back to the above topic..Can’t wait for the movie??!! lol
“Heart throb never, black and ugly, as ever, HOWEVER, I stay Coogi down to the socks!”
that man don’t look like biggie
yall need to quit trippin!!!!!!!!!!!
erie. still not interested unless it’s coming on tv.
Ugh! I’m so mad! That’s my old job! Woulda been good if I caught ‘em! I SO want in on this film. I wonder where else are the filming locations. Grr.
I mean wow…just WOW. That’s kinda creepy.
DAT NIGGA DONT LOOK NUTHIN LIKE BIG DEY TRYIN ONE OF THE GREATEST RAPPERZ EVA MAN NOT KOOL!
he looks like him with the shades but without em… naaaaw. he does have some similarities though.
umm i dont see the resemblance at all :s
@10 I agree
Great casting.
I should play Diddy
HE LOOKS LIKE HIM, JUST NEED TO PUT MORE WEIGHT
IS DIDDY APPEARING AS HIMSELF?THAT WOULD BE BAD,BECAUSE DIDDY IS NOT GOOD AT ACTING
I’m sure/hope this film will be great….but I don’t really thing this dude looks like Biggie…aside from being big, which is important, but still I don’t see it. However, that doesn’t mean he wont play the role well and make us believe it’s him. Denzel didn’t look like Malcom X or Frank White and he was still believable!!! I’m excited about the film. R.I.P Biggie- Brooklyn and the World misses you!
lmaooooooooo@16, you are right about that!
He doesn’t look like Biggie but who cares as long as his acting makes it believeable!
That guy has a fatter neck, smaller lips and eyes! Plus he looks taller then Big! I could go on but I will refrain…lol..
I wish this was a made for tv movie or a dvd…
HE’S TOO SMALL!!!!
How are they going to do the wandering eye if he takes his shades off?
I agree he don’t look like bigs at all, the other dude who auditioned looked more the part, this dude got too much shadow wit da beard, bigs never had much “noticeable” facial, infact i dun think ever had facial =/ besides the small stash hairs..
i know biggie was big but htsi dude is WAY too biig looll he’s too fat for me to take his interpration seriously ..
lol someones says he’s too small..lol are you kidding?
he dont look like biggie…I co-sign with those who say that lol
He does look much taller, than Biggie, and Biggie had a fatter face.
Besides that fact that he is a darkskinned man that is overweight, he really does not look like him. I hope for his sake he can act or this movie will be a total joke
They should have picked Gorilla Black. The resemblance is ridiculous. But this will have to do…
he favors big…i think they made a great choice rollin with him. MAMA KNOWZ BEST
Oh hell no, he does NOT look like Biggie Smalls! This fool looks more like the fat dude from Day 26 …..
This might be interesting…..hmmm.
Okies I take it back lol he doesn’t look far from biggie when he wear the clothes he did.. check the pic out

Did they pick this guy because he look like BIggie or does he have an actual resume.
Has he acted before?
Hey may not be a striking image of BIG but he can flow for real, I think they considered that when picking him over some othere guy.
As long as dude can act then it’s cool. All these people talking about he don’t look like Big…I mean damn you expect his long lost twin to jump out of nowhere?? Angela Bassett doesn’t look anything like Tina Turner but she raped the shit out of that movie…excuse me she did a heck of a job.
So yeaa as long as dude can act.
BTW, I co-sign with those who say Diddy’s ass better not be in it. Like I heard someone say: “Diddy turned a raisin in the sun to a prune in the moon.”
They could of gotten Hill Harper, mos def, hell even roll bouncing ass Bow wow. But Diddy??? C’mooooon
i hope he don’t get shot too..
wow, it doesn’t matter what the dude looks like. Angela Bassett didn’t look like Tina. IT’S A MOVIE. DAMN!!!!
this is great. i wonder how long i have to wait for aaliyah’s life story?
lol@37. and angela doesnt look like violetta wallace either.
close enuff…whats more important than lookin like big is the fact that gravy is a rapper….biggie was a rapper…u have to imagine that he will have to rap in t movie at some point… it would be garbage is an actor that couldnt rap had the role
LOL @ people saying he looks like Biggie! He looks nothing like Biggie, but he does resemble him a bit. I think they made a good choice in choosing. However, they need to find someone else to play the role of Lil’ Kim, because Naturi is just not doing it. I can’t wait to see this movie!
looks nothing like biggie and damn sure cant rap like him. guerrilla black would have been a better fit.
Remember, Biggie’s mom the Jehovah’s Witness made final decisions on various important parts of this film so don’t keep your expectations too high on this project. We are NOT dealing with straight up truth here. We are dealing with things as seen through HER eyes…
i am sooooooooooooooooooooo excited about this.
@17
Naw diddy is real good at acting…acting like he dont know who the fuck shot tupac. I think his acting skills are excellent.
They should have gotten that comedian Levelle ( i think thats how you spell it) to play biggie…lol- this dude right here dont look even related to biggie. Yall sayin “oh I see the similarities”…well….yeah…he’s big…and he’s black….*gasp* so was biggie…they must be twins…
If u just glance not to bad.

I notice some people making comments about dude playing this part and probably were the same ones defending a certain someone when people were commenting about her playing etta and I’m out before people start bashing me just for making a point.
and hopefully he raps exactly like biggie cause lawd knows he shouldnt play that part if he cant do one of biggies songs exactly like him. lmao *being sarcastic*
He doesn’t look like Biggie at all to me…he’s tall, heavy and darkskin, but Big had a certain swag about him…even getting Angela Basset to play voletta wallace is a jump for me…I met Big when I was 14, and he was just this larger than life persona…not talking bout his weight…and he was a gracious dude…we’ll just see if he pulls it off…
Co-sign #27 Gorilla Black looks AND sounds like BIG. I was watching the “Compton” video on You Tube yesterday, the flow and mannerisms were dead on. BIG is turning over in his grave being played by this sucka Gravy. He doesn’t even have the same presence as BIG.This dude got shot by one if his homies before going into Hot 97 (suspect) and how is he any kind of actor, other than being a studio gangsta. You cant just grab any fat dude throw some Chanel shades, Tims, and Coogi on him and start shooting a movie….
And I will boycott. Rediculous. You can’t make a movie about positive black people but you can make it about a drug pushing thug? Get outta here.

I think they picked the perfect person to play BIG. For all that don’t know the guy that they got to play BIG is a rapper named Gravy (who is also from Brooklyn). Gorilla Black couldn’t play BIG because he doesn’t have that Brooklyn Swag. If you are going to pick someone to play a rapper from Brooklyn, why not get a rapper from Brooklyn? I think this guy will play the role perfect and hopefully it will get his rap career of the ground because he is actually NICE on the mic! Good Luck Gravy!
