Its possibly safe to say whilst some actors/actress creep up on you some are like BAM! Right there in your face with there unbelievable talent and style actorChwitel Ejiofor had that same impact on me he was instantly likeable ,has style charisma on and of the screen . One thing a people may not know, is that although his parents are NIGERIAN he was actually born in the UK (10 July 1974)
yes this brother is English . He started out acting at school then moving on to bigger things he became a much sort after stage actor in London .He made is first TV appearance in DEADLEY VOYAGE in 1996 before continuing his stage career, It would be in 2002 where I would catch my first glimpse of him in DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, a role that he seemed destined to play .This would make him instantly recognisable as a upcoming movie star .Other roles fallowed RED DUST opposite HILARY SWANK,TSUNAMI THE AFTERMATH for which he received a golden globe nomination SERENITY,KINKY BOOTS fro which he received a golden globe nomination AMERICAN GANGSTER ,INSIDE MAN both opposite the brilliant DENZEL WASHINGTON, and TALK TO ME opposite the charismatic DON CHEADLE. He has some new films he will be appearing in RED BELT of which you go and see if not get the DVD also TOSSAINT,TONIGHT A NOON. Like other actors and actresses he has overcome personal grief to achieve his goal and offer something positive to the world. Rumour has it he might take the role as the BLACK PANTHER in the much talked about and rumoured film. He,s an actor to keep your eyes on as this brother will be around for some time to come.
'When I start acting, everything else fades. I really can't help it, the role becomes everything. It's always on my mind.'
