When you hire an unproven rockstar, rapper, pop singer to
act in a movie, they should maybe come with a
warning label because oftentimes they bring that party live style
on set. The Oscar nominated director Todd Phillips says he
experienced that first hand when Snoop made a cameo in
his legendary two thousand and three comedy Old School, But
he also learned which version of Snoop showed up depending
on the situation. The only reason Snoop even agreed to

(00:25):
the gig was because he wanted to play Huggy Bear
in Todd's next film, or remake of the seventies crime
series Starsky and Hutch. Todd says Snoop was really difficult
to wrangle on Old Schools. So I said, Snoop, we're
going to do a whole movie together on Starsky and Houch.
It can't be like this, And Snoop said, you've got
it wrong. You hired Snoop Dogg to play Snoop Dogg
on this, So that's what you get. You get me
and all my friends hanging out on star Skin Hutch.

(00:47):
You're hiring me as an actor and he was right
on Starsky Hutch. He was a professionally showed up on time,
knew all these lines. Was a dream Todds X movie
Joker Falia de he is on Hfield Max.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
