Rapper Snoop Dogg has landed a prime roll
in the new “Starsky and Hutch” movie. Just when thought that Hollywood
had “remade” just about everything, they reached back into the 70’s once
again and pull out the hit 70’s buddy cop film.
Snoop joins the cast that includes Ben
Stiller and Owen Wilson in the title roles.
Snoop will play the part of Huggy Bear,
the flamboyant street hustler but he thought that the original character
played by Antonio Fargas was “kinda square”.
"I took the good that he had when he was
on TV and mixed it with the good that I do and just made it more along
the edges of what people really want to see on the big screen from a Huggy
Bear character," Snoop told The Associated Press in an interview.
Snoop gives props to the original actor
Antonio Fargas who made the role what it was, "So he paved the way, but
at the same time, it's all about me trying to take the role to the next
level, and educate the kids who've never seen 'Starsky and Hutch.'"
With all this love for 70’s TV shows in
Hollywood these days, “The Love Boat” remake can only be just around the
corner.
