Like Father, Like Son: Master P’s Son Hercy Miller Will Play His Dad in Snoop Dogg’s Biopic
Written by Kiss Media on 9 November 2026
Some casting announcements just make sense. Hercy Miller, the 24-year-old son of No Limit Records founder Master P, has been cast to play his own father in Universal Pictures’ upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic, Snoop. Deadline first confirmed the casting on Thursday, and the news has been building all weekend as more of the film’s star-studded ensemble comes into focus.
Master P could not hide his pride when the news broke, celebrating his son’s big break on Instagram and writing that Hercy “put the work and got the part to play me in Snoop movie.” Snoop himself jumped into the comments to shut down any talk of nepotism before it could start, making it clear his young co-star “earned it the old fashion way.”
For Hercy, the role is a full-circle moment years in the making. He called it “something truly special” on his own Instagram page, writing that growing up watching his father turn dreams into reality — and now getting to step into his shoes on the big screen — is a moment he will never forget. “Like father, like son. I’M BOUT IT BOUT IT!” he added. The part marks his feature-film debut, though he has already appeared on camera in Netflix’s Calabasas Confidential. His scenes will likely center on the late-1990s chapter when Snoop signed to Master P’s No Limit Records in 1998 after leaving Death Row — the era that turned both men into moguls.
The cast around him reads like a hip-hop hall of fame. P-Valley star Zachariah Rogers will play The D.O.C., while actor-comedian Tyquan Givens — known as Watts Homie Quan — takes on an original character named B. Mack. The news arrived a day after Cynthia Erivo joined the film as Tupac Shakur’s mother, Afeni Shakur. The rest of the lineup includes Camron Jones as Tupac, Lauren London as Snoop’s late mother, Algee Smith as Warren G, Myles Bullock Be as Dr. Dre, SwayvoTwain — the son of D’Angelo and Angie Stone — as The Notorious B.I.G., G Perico as Snoop’s early mentor Big Reecie Cup, and Outer Banks actor Jonathan Daviss in the lead role as Snoop himself.
Craig Brewer, the director behind Hustle & Flow, is directing the film, with Snoop producing alongside Brian Grazer and Sara Ramaker for Death Row Pictures. Universal — the studio behind Straight Outta Compton and 8 Mile — is backing the project, and cameras are already rolling. Snoop is set to hit theaters on August 6, 2027, and if the casting is any indication, it is shaping up to be the definitive telling of the Doggfather’s story.
