The Belly Movie Cast is a pool of top-notch seasoned actors and musicians that cut across different music genres like the late famous African American rapper DMX, Nas, and Method Man. Others are Anthony Cruz, Clifford Smith, Sean Paul, and Benjamin Chavis – an African-American civil rights leader and president of the National Newspaper Publishers Association.

Released in 1998, Belly is a crime fiction that was written and directed by Hype Williams, a music video producer, and director. The sequel of the movie, Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club was released in 2006 with casts like The Game, Ivan Frank and Taye Hansberry. The interesting line-up of the cast in the movie gave it wide coverage even though it was adjudged to have a weak and poor plot by critics.

The cast that makes up the movie Belly consists of about 95 percent of musicians who were said to have been always coming late, drunk, or high during the $3 million dollars worth of movie production. Here is a list of the actors in the movie and all that you should know about them.

1. DMX (Tommy ‘Bunns’ Bundy)

Earl Simmons a.k.a DMX acted as Tommy ‘Bunns’ Bundy in the movie. He was born on the 18th day of December 1970 in the United States of America and died on the 9th of April 2021.

He was a renowned rapper and also an actor who played the lead role in the movie Belly where he was part of a syndicate that killed 5 people during a violent nightclub robbery. He was subsequently arrested and made to face a severe prison sentence except if he will be able to assassinate the head of a black Muslim group – an offer the cops made to him in exchange for his freedom.
