Hmm, this one smells of desperate publicity, but the makers of an upcoming biopic about the life of legendary hip hopper Tupac Shakur are putting out the call for wannabes to audition online for the role.
Actors hoping to fill the biographical boots of the rapper, who was gunned down in a drive by in Las Vegas in 1996, are asked to head to Insearchoftupac.skeetv.com where they can download and perform a scene from the proposed film, as well as what they consider to be the most bitchin’ Tupac track.
Film producer David Robinson says “We’re looking for someone with the right mix of raw charm and charisma for the role. At this point, we’re more concerned about finding someone with the ability to give their entire heart into the performance than just looks and personality.”
