March 22, 2011

Producers of a biopic about the late rapper are holding an online casting call to find an actor to portray the music icon.

The movie about Shakur, who was shot to death in 19-96, is slated to begin production this spring.

To audition, aspiring actors must visit InSearchOfTupac.skeetv.com and upload a five-minute video of themselves reciting a monologue from one of Shakur's courtroom appearances; and a one-minute performance of a song by the rapper.

Auditions end April 30.
