Do you look like Big Pun?

Miami Talent Casting is now casting overweight hispanic actors to play Big Pun in an upcoming BIG PUN film project. Casting directors are searching nationwide for the lead role and casting directors are looking for a male actor ages 18 to 40 years old to play Christopher Rios “Big Pun”. “Must be around 5’2” and resemble Rios in looks and physical build. Please note that Rios was severely overweight, and we are seeking actors who are also severely overweight.”

“No singing/rapping required (lip-syncing ONLY), but must be able to mimic/imitate Rios’ mannerisms and gestures. Impersonation of Rios’ speaking voice preferred if possible.”

Liza Rios, the late rapper’s widow, swiftly denounced the potential biopic and stated that she would be taking legal action.

“Hey I have nothing to do with this project. These people never even came to me for permission or to consult on OUR LIVES. So basically it’s a FAKE Bio pic of PUN and we all know how that goes. I was so not involved in this process BUT My LAWYER now is!,” Rios said though her Facebook account.

The open casting didn’t specify who was creating the movie, but stated that it would pay $5,000 for 5 days of shooting.
