Kevin Phillips, the actor who plays the character of Notorious B.I.G.’s manager in the tragic rapper’s new biopic, Notorious, had second thoughts about doing the role and almost did not do it. The reason being he feared the film would not be able to match up the huge expectations.

He now says, “I did have some reservations for months before the actual offer. I was first approached to play the role of Puffy (Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs). I didn’t think it made any sense to be involved in the project because I didn’t have Puffy’s walk.”

But on meeting B.I.G.’s mother he was able to do away with all of his reservations and finally did give his nod to doing the movie. And now that the movie has been appreciated in all corners he is thrilled with the end result, and glad he didn’t walk away.

Hey Man Kevin all’s well that end’s well. Well done dude and it all about how bad you want to prove that you are a good actor, I would never play the role of Sean, I really can’t stand this man. Would do any other thing, be an attendant to some other star but not Sean.
