Daniel Kaluuya
Recognisable English writer, actor and comedian.
Young, cool, relevant with bundles of energy, charm, intelligence, honesty and sincerity.
2021 Oscar Winner for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah (2021).
He achieved international recognition and acclaim for his leading role as Chris Washington in the horror film Get Out (2017) for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, SAG Award, and BAFTA Award as Best Actor and W'Kabi in the box office smash Black Panther (2018). In 2018, he won the BAFTA Rising Star Award.
He grew up in North London.
Confident with a generic American accent as he uses it in many of his movies - listen to sample.
