May 13th will see CJ Wallace return to the big screen in Will Farrell’s Everything Must Go. CJ is, of course, the son of late rapper Biggie Smalls. CJ made his screen debut playing young Papa in the biopic Notorious.
CJ spoke about possible music making, and his acting career:
CJ: [If I did music], I feel that a lot would be expected of me, and I’m definitely not up to where my father was. Acting just came randomly. I wasn’t even into it at first. When I did ‘Notorious,’ my grandma, Ms. [Voletta] Wallace, she told me that I should come in and read for the part as my father. Honestly, I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t want to do it because it seemed so likely for me to do it, like Biggie’s son is going to play Biggie. After I had my acting coach and really read through it, I started to find out things that I didn’t know about him. Then I took more of an interest into it. It was actually fun, going out to New York, living like him, going into his old apartment, doing what he did. It was cool”.
