If you think you have what it takes to play the part of the late Tupac Shakur, then today is your day.  Morgan Creek Productions and Skee.TV/Karmaloop.TV have announced an online casting call for, Tupac, which is based on the life of the legendary Tupac Shakur and will be directed by Antoine Fuqua.

The casting call kicked off on Friday, March 18.  Auditioners are uploading their videos to InSearchofTupac.com.

Scott “DJ Skee” Keeney, founder of Skee.TV said,

“We are excited to partner with Morgan Creek on this innovative casting call.  This audition process is a great example of utilizing today’s ever-evolving technology to reach fans and actors around the world to pay homage to a hip-hop legend.”

How hard will it be to find the right guy to fit the bill?

“We’re looking for someone with the right mix of raw charm and charisma for the role,” says producer David Robinson. “At this point, we’re more concerned about finding someone with the ability to give their entire heart into the performance than just looks and personality.”

I think that is definitely the key.  Heart.  Passion.  That’s what’s going to win this role.  Actually, more like earn the honor.

Good luck everyone!
