Jamal "Gravy" Woolard (born July 8, 1975) is an American actor and rapper. He portrayed rapper The Notorious B.I.G. in the film Notorious,[1] and reprised the role as a supporting character in the Tupac Shakur biopic All Eyez on Me.
Woolard is from Bensonhurst Brooklyn and Lafayette Gardens, Brooklyn.[2] In real life he raps under the name "Gravy". He is featured in the song "Untouchable" by Tupac Shakur on the Pac's Life album. He had to add over 50 pounds to his frame to play The Notorious B.I.G. in the film Notorious.
Woolard was previously known for being shot near radio station Hot 97 on 26 April 2006 and giving an interview on the Funkmaster Flex show directly afterwards.[3] His music was later banned from play at the station as a result of a policy that bans "music by any artist who is involved in an altercation at the station."[4]
