Angela Bassett, Jamal Woolard ('Notorious')

The Notorious B.I.G was a huge figure in hip-hop in more ways than one, but George Tillman's biopic Notorious also reveals the man behind the image. Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace (who also produced the film) explains why she felt the time was right to tell her son's story. Meanwhile, rapper-turned-leading actor Jamal Woolard explains how he strove to live up to expectations and swaps stories with Derek Luke (Sean 'Puffy' Combs). Angela Bassett also talks to DS about stepping into the shoes of Voletta Wallace and even drops a few hints about the last ever series of ER.
