12 year old Christopher Wallace Jr. talks to Interview magazine about what it feels like to play his own father as a boy in some scenes in the upcoming biopic Notorious. His father, the rapper known as Notorious B.I.G., was gunned down in 1997 at the age of 24 in a murder that has never been solved. The movie has, however, provided a chance for his son to get more in touch with a father he never got to know. Wallace Jr. says he definitely has plans to follow in his father's footsteps -- up to a point: "(I'll) probably (go into rap). But I want to go to college. And I want to graduate and study film."
