Snoop Dogg’s comedy ‘The Underdoggs’ adds Tika Sumpter, George Lopez, Mike Epps and Andrew Schulz to lineup

The cast has added a few more stars to their lineup.

Tika Sumpter, George Lopez, Mike Epps and Andrew Schulz have been added to Snoop Dogg’s MGM sports comedy, “The Underdoggs.” The star lineup will be added to the production that tells the story of Snoop Dogg’s character, Jaycen Jenning aka “2J’s.” 2J’s is a former NFL superstar who, after a run-in with the law, agrees to coach a youth football team in order to stay out of prison and in the hopes of relaunching his underdeveloped career.

The additions to the production all bring impressive resumes.
