Though 2009's Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious received wildly mixed reviews, even those critics who dismissed the film generally agreed that it featured a spot-on performance from Jamal Woolard as the ill-fated rap icon.

Woolard ended up unexpectedly reprising the part of Biggie eight years later for 2017's Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez On Me, albeit this time in a supporting capacity.

Sadly Woolard's performance wasn't received quite so enthusiastically this time around, with many critics complaining that Woolard, who was 41 years old when All Eyez On Me was being shot, no longer resembled Biggie, who of course died at just 24 years of age.

Needless to say, Woolard has now firmly aged-out of playing the part ever again, but considering how the Tupac biopic came and went without a peep, you probably never even knew he was in it.
