Michael D’Angelo Archer II, the son of D’Angelo and Angie Stone, is cast to play the Notorious B.I.G. in the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic. The outlets report that this is his first major acting role, and he is also credited for releasing music under the name SwayvoTwain.
Billboard and other coverage say the production casts him specifically to portray Biggie Smalls (Christopher Wallace) within Snoop Dogg’s feature film. While details about the character depiction are limited in the reports, Billboard specifies the film’s U.S. release timing as August 2027. Other sources frame the project as moving toward a broader theatrical release “next year,” without adding the same month-specific date.
Across the articles, the common points are the casting of Archer as Biggie and his parallel music career under the SwayvoTwain stage name, with minor differences mainly in how the release schedule is described.
