Notorious was :comeon:

:pachaha: was a very unique individual who showed a wide range of emotions and had a very distinct voice. It would take a great fukking actor to pull it off.

I can't think of anyone who could do it.

I think an unknown dude could do it. They would have to audition a lot of people though.

Can't see any Black actor currently on the scene pulling it off. The look could be pulled off easily, it's the swag and raw emotion that's gonna be difficult to imitate.

It's EXTREMELY possible for an actor to do a good job portraying 2Pac. Much harder to mimic celebrities have been done justice in the past.

The problem is no matter who does it or how well they portray him, Pac's stans are going to be shytting on the portrayal regardless.

maybe that dude from menace to society, but he's prob too :flabbynsick: at this point. Honestly i think it would take an awesome director along with an unknown actor to really get the essence of pac down. ;
Honestly if somebody could portray him and get all his emotions down he should be considered for an oscar.

So some dude from menace which came out 20 yrs ago? Come on mayne.

It would be an unknown cat. Great direction would be key.

The only dude who I think could have played Pac and did it correctly was that dude from The Steve Harvey show who got merked.

Merlin Santana or sum shyt...forgot his name

He had a pretty unique look, voice and actions/swag/mannerisms.
I can't see a actor having all 3 down but if a actor could nail 2 of them to the point it overshadows the other quality I think it could work.
Like said earlier it has to be some unknown. Actually are there even very many black male actors in their early 20's around atm?
