Myles Bullock Be Tapped to Play Dr. Dre in Snoop Dogg Biopic

Myles Bullock Be has landed a major role in Universal’s Snoop Dogg biopic, stepping in as Dr. Dre opposite Jonathan Daviss’ portrayal of the Long Beach rap icon.

Myles Bullock Be will play Dr. Dre in Snoop, Universal Pictures’ upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic. The casting places the BMF and Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist actor at the center of a story built around one of West Coast hip-hop’s most important creative partnerships.

According to Complex, Bullock Be joins Outer Banks star Jonathan Daviss, who is set to portray Snoop Dogg. Craig Brewer is directing the film and wrote the latest version of the screenplay after an earlier draft by Joe Robert Cole.

The role also reunites Bullock Be with Brewer after the actor appeared in the filmmaker’s 2024 Peacock miniseries Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist. Bullock Be’s other screen credits include White Men Can’t Jump, Marvel’s Runaways and Starz’s BMF, while he is also working on Hulu’s Prison Break: Black Creek.

Bullock Be celebrated the casting on Instagram, writing, “LA Kid playing an LA Legend, @snoopdogg @jonathandavissofficial let’s get it! #mamaimadeit.” His casting is especially significant because Dr. Dre’s relationship with Snoop is foundational to the rapper’s rise in the early 1990s.

Dre brought a young Snoop into the sessions surrounding his landmark 1992 album The Chronic, helping introduce his voice to a national audience before Snoop’s own debut became a defining release of the era. Their partnership has continued across decades of music, performances and business ventures, making Dre an essential figure in any screen account of Snoop’s career.

Snoop Dogg and Death Row Pictures president Sara Ramaker are producing the film alongside Imagine Entertainment’s Brian Grazer and Allan Mandelbaum. The project will incorporate music from Snoop’s catalog and is the first film under Death Row Pictures’ overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment.

Snoop is currently set to arrive in theaters on August 6, 2027. With Daviss in the title role and Bullock Be now set as Dre, the biopic is continuing to assemble the key figures needed to dramatize Snoop’s journey from Long Beach newcomer to one of hip-hop’s most recognizable global stars.
