Snoop joins the cast that includes Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson in the title roles.
Snoop will play the part of Huggy Bear, the flamboyant street hustler but he thought that the original character played by Antonio Fargas was �kinda square�.
"I took the good that he had when he was on TV and mixed it with the good that I do and just made it more along the edges of what people really want to see on the big screen from a Huggy Bear character," Snoop told The Associated Press in an interview.
Snoop gives props to the original actor Antonio Fargas who made the role what it was, "So he paved the way, but at the same time, it's all about me trying to take the role to the next level, and educate the kids who've never seen 'Starsky and Hutch.'"
With all this love for 70�s TV shows in Hollywood these days, �The Love Boat� remake can only be just around the corner.
