LOS ANGELES — If Method Man wants his part as Snoop Dogg's best friend in "Soul Plane" to be believable, he might want to start saying kinder things about him to the media.

"Honestly, I think he's one of the worst rap actors in the game right now. There's a bunch of us and he's one of the worst ones," Meth said backstage at Saturday's taping of the MTV Movie Awards. "And Snoops knows that, but Snoop's a hustler. He's gonna keep his face out there."

Method Man did note that he's never worked with Snoop — who's appeared in "Training Day," "The Wash" and "Bones," among other flicks — and said he may change his mind after shooting the "Airplane!" remake. He also complimented the D-O-Double G's appeal.

"He's a personality," Meth said. "He's like ODB. Even though he keeps f---ing up, there's somebody out there who wants to see him."

"Soul Plane," which finds Snoop playing a pilot, will begin filming this summer under the direction of Jessy Terrero, best known for his music videos, including 50 Cent's "Wanksta" (see "Snoop Dogg, Method Man Get Onboard 'Airplane!' Remake").

Method Man had some concerns about the script ("Too many stereotypes going on in there"), but he took a small part because he liked the story. "It's basically about a guy who gets into an accident on an airplane and he sues and comes into a lot of money, so he decides to start his own," he explained.

After "Soul Plane," Meth has several starring roles lined up, all buddy movies with his partner-in-rhyme, Redman. The first will either be a remake of the Japanese comedy "Jailbreakers," with the duo playing inmates who break out of jail only to find they've already been pardoned (see "Red And Meth To Break Out Of 'Jail' "), or one tentatively titled "DEA."

"Me and Redman get into some trouble and caught up with the DEA and they use us as pawns to find this big drug dealer," the rapper said of the latter, before pointing out his concern with the movie. "It's going to be PG-13, though. Why?"

Other Method Man projects in the works include his third solo album, Tical 0: The Prequel, due in September (see "Method Man Has His Eyes Set On Tamyra Gray "), and a documentary on exotic dancing due around the same time on DVD (see "Method Man: From Fronts To Furs").

meth can hardly say he is the best actor

Meth ain't a bad actor so i guess he has a right to an opinion of other rap actors...

It's just his opinion. The point is it may also be almost anyone's opinion!

Despite that, I still enjoy Snoop in the movies.

Huh, Meth does have a point... Snoop is really a bad bad actor, and the funny thing is that he keeps getting roles. But it still is pretty fun too see them all in movies, at times...  

i think snoop is a bad actor but i've liked all his movies lol...meth is a great actor though...but he never said he was the "best actor" he just said snoop cant act...he wasnt dissin him on anything else...and it said he could change his mind...but snoop is really a bad actor
