N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton" announces its choice for the role of Tupac.

Most of the key roles in the upcoming N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton, were filled last summer, but it now appears that the film will feature smaller appearances by other noteworthy rappers of the day. We already know that Chuck D, Snoop Dogg and Warren G will be portrayed in the movie, and now with the announcement of the casting of actor Marcc Rose, we learn that Tupac will also show his face for at least a scene. 

Entertainment Weekly broke the news, reporting that Ice Cube said they were filming "the Tupac scene" a few days ago on the late rapper's birthday, and announced that Rose was the one who got the role. Check out his resemblance in some Instagram posts in the gallery above.
