Hercy Miller has joined the cast of the forthcoming Snoop Dogg biopic Snoop, in which he will portray his father, hip-hop legend and No Limit Records founder Master P.
According to Deadline, Miller’s addition comes amid an uptick in developments regarding the film, which will center around the life and career of rap superstar Snoop Dogg.
Actress Cynthia Erivo will portray Afeni Shakur, the mother of late rap icon Tupac Shakur, and the film is set to arrive in theaters on August 6, 2027.
Master P celebrated the news about Hercy portraying him onscreen in a social media post, commending him for his dedication in securing the role.
“I’m proud of my son @hercymiler put the work [in] and got the part to play me in Snoop movie,” the New Orleans native captioned a clip of Hercy and Snoop together. “Salute.”
Snoop Dogg also hopped in the comments to assure fans that Miller earned the role on merit. “He earned it the old-fashioned way,” Tha Doggfather wrote, seemingly alluding to Miller having gone through a traditional audition process.
A former collegiate basketball player, Hercy Miller previously appeared in episodes of the Netflix series Forever in 2025 and Calabasas Confidential earlier this year.
Snoop will star actor Jonathan Daviss as Snoop Dogg, with Zachariah Rogers portraying rapper The D.O.C., and Tyquan Givens appearing as an original character named B. Mack. Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul will play music executive Jimmy Iovine, while Giovanni Ribisi will play longtime Death Row Records attorney David Kenner.
Directed by Craig Brewer and produced by Brian Grazer and Snoop Dogg, the film is the first feature under a multi-year partnership between Snoop, Death Row Pictures, and NBCUniversal Entertainment, inked in 2025.
“Audiences around the world love Snoop and connect with his unparalleled showmanship and artistry,” said Donna Langley, NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios Chairman, at the time. “Those of us lucky enough to be in his orbit also know his incredible business acumen, endlessly creative spirit, and the unapologetic authenticity that he brings to every project. There’s only one Snoop, and we’re so excited for him to join our unbelievable roster of creative partners.”
Snoop praised Langley and NBCUniversal for betting on him and Death Row Pictures: “Not everyone has the courage and vision to see what Death Row Pictures can bring to the table, but Donna and the NBCUniversal team have always understood, which is why I am proud to call NBCUniversal my new home. The Dogg has officially moved into the neighborhood, ya dig?”
