He’s probably one of the most active Africans in recent top Hollywood movies. Remember Colonel Dubaku in the popular series 24 (Season 7)? That is Kae-Kazeem! He was born on October 1, 1962 in Lagos, to Nigerian parents. He later moved to the United Kingdom with his parents at a tender age.
He has featured as one of the main supporting actors in many top Hollywood movies like Black Sails, 24 (Season 7), Wolverine, Pirates of the Caribbean, Hotel Rwanda and many more. He recently announced his plans to feature in Nollywood movies.
Due to his exploits in Hollywood, Kae-Kazeem was recently endorsed by Nigerian telecom giant, 9mobile, as a brand ambassador.
4) John Boyega
Although this kid is quite new to the game, he is probably one of the most prominent young stars in the Hollywood today. Boyega, who is a British actor, was born in London on March 17, 1992 to English parents of Nigerian descent. His mom and dad hails from Oyo and Ogun states respectively.
The 26-year old British-Nigerian actor began his active Hollywood career 7 years ago, when he starred in the Scientific-fiction comedy movie, Attack the Block. Sci-fi seems to be Boyega’s preferred genre, as his breakthrough movie series, Star Wars, is also a Sci-fi movie. He was one of the major characters (Finn) in the Star Wars: The Force awakens.
Since 2011 to date, Boyega has starred in a host of movies like Half of a Yellow Sun, Attack the Block, Imperial Dreams, Deltroit and so on. His role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, where he adopted the name of a character known as Finn, is his most prominent so far.
