Christopher CJ Wallace, Son of The Notorous B.I.G., Co-Stars With Will Ferrell In ‘Everything Must Go’ [Trailer, Interview]

The second acting role for Christopher “CJ” Wallace, a.k.a. the son of the late Notorious B.I.G., is a big one, co-starring with Will Ferrell in the film Everything Must Go, which opens May 13. The film, and it’s young co-star, should garner a good deal of attention, as it was a selection in the Toronto International Film Festival, and sees Ferrell trade in his typical funnyman schtick for a more dramatic role.

Ferrell plays a down-and-out recovering alcoholic whose life takes a unexpected turn for the worst, after losing his job, and finding his belongings on the front yard, a result of a Dear John eviction.

Wallace plays a loner neighborhood kid who befriends Ferrell’s character, since relegated to living 24/7 in the yard where his belongings were unceremoniously dumped. The trailer, shown below, hints to a touching and humorous interaction between Wallace and Ferrell.

AOL’s Black Voices posted an interview with Wallace, briefly speaking on his burgeoning acting career as well as speaking about CJ’s desire, or lack thereof, to musically follow in his father’s famous footsteps. Good interview, seems like Wallace has a good head on his shoulders. Check it out.
