After a very long search it seems like the Notorious B.I.G. actor has been found.

Meanwhile Michelle Rodriguez is making a return to the Fast and the Furious franchise in the fourth film with the full cast.

The biographical film about Christopher Wallace, the Brooklyn crack dealer who became a leading light in the music industry, also known as Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie, has finally found it's lead. Jamal Woolard, who is also known as the rapper Gravy, is set to play the role according to Variety.

Also starring are Angela Bassett as Wallace's mother, Derek Luke as Sean Combs aka P. Diddy (or whatever he's known as this week) and Anthony Mackie as Tupac Shakur. All big shoes to fill, and I think these actors will find it the hardest as the people they are playing are still alive - what a pressure that would be.

Michelle Rodriguez has signed up to The Fast and the Furious 4, reprising her role of Letty in the film according to Coming Soon. That's a huge return cast wise as they also have Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster.

With the complete team back on board for the fourth sequel it looks like this is a strong restart for the franchise, the big question is will this film be as strong as the cast suggests, and will it lead to another run of Fast and the Furious films?
