DEREK LUKE: There are a lot of parts to Chris Wallace and I only can speak as a fan and not necessarily a historian’s point of view. Just like the character I play, Puff Daddy, had many names, Christopher Wallace had three names, too. He was Christopher Wallace. He was Notorious and he was Biggie. That whole anatomy of the man is that he was a guy who grew up from the streets of Brooklyn. It’s not that he had a bad situation but the life that he lived transformed that into something positive. He didn’t allow that to hold him back. Puff Daddy challenged him and said, “Listen, if you want this dream you’re going to have to sacrifice. I’m going to have to give up something. You’re going to have to give up something.” It’s about the American dream. It’s about doing the best where you are at and making that turn into progress.
