Jonathan Daviss is leaving the Outer Banks for the West Coast. The actor has landed the starring role in Universal’s upcoming biopic about the rap legend Snoop Dogg.
The film will be directed by Craig Brewer (“Hustle and Flow,” “Dolemite is My Name,” the upcoming “Song Sung Blue”), who will contribute revisions to a screenplay previously written by Joe Robert Cole. Snoop Dogg is producing the project alongside Brian Grazer and Death Row Pictures President Sara Ramaker.
Deadline was first to report news of Daviss’ casting.
