5 Questions With Jamal Woolard
January 18, 2009 by Lance Carter
Who is Jamal Woolard? He’s Biggie Smalls in the new film, Notorious.
I have to say, the small part of me that was interested in seeing this movie vanished when I heard that people were getting shot at theaters playing the movie… so I think I’ll just stay home and wait for the DVD.
Did you get much acting advice from the cast?
Yeah, they definitely showed me a lot of support. Anthony Mackie is a funny dude, and Derek Luke is crazy. But [they showed me] just how to focus, how to reset if you don’t feel comfortable and want to do it over. You know, time is money, so you want to do it correct. And Angela Basset [helped me] with the scene [where Mrs. Wallace slaps Biggie]. I had to take that straight on [laughs]. I should have used a stunt person. You know, after 18 takes my jaw was whipped. I would never take no slaps from her again.
