Los Angeles - Rapper Snoop Dogg stars as the streetwise informer Huggy Bear in the new Starsky and Hutch, bringing his own version of seventies style and humour to the role.
The star says he's planning to build his career in Hollywood and become the next Denzel Washington - getting leading roles - because he's convinced he has the talent.
"I will have to play a part that is so far removed from Snoop Dog and Huggy Bear and drugs and rap so that you don't think Snoop Dog should get the role, like a lawyer or a doctor. It needs to be one of them roles where I'm up against Al Pacino or Denzel Washington," he said.
"It needs to be a role they want and somehow I get it instead of Denzel and people are wondering how that happened.
"I will get those roles because I work hard and I get what I want.
"They will think I can't handle it, those big parts.
"But then they'll go and see the film and they'll be blown away and wonder how I did it." - Ananova.com
