Re: Talking About Hollywood Moviestars Of Nigerian Origin by Afam4eva(m): 2:10pm On Apr 19, 2012
The biggest Nigerian starts in Hollywood at the moment are Chiwetel Ejiofor and Adewale Akinouye Agbaje. I've known Adewale from way back when he did a movie with Jean claude van damme. He has appeared in a couple of block buster movies. But the problem is that he has never been cast a lead actor probably because of his build.

Chiwetel is the future of black hollywood. Just like Adewale, he's been acting second fiddle except in "dirty pretty things" and "Red belt". His future in hollywood is bright.

Toaskarity: But most of this ppl were not born in nigeria. So?

You're right but a lot of them have connections with with Nigeria. Chiwetel Ejiofor comes to Nigeria almost every year. Caroline Chikezie and Adewale also come into Nigeria every now and then.

Yeah, you're right. He was Colonel Dubako in 24. Even the girl he was dating when he was in America is also a Nigerian. I'll try and get her name.

You guys forgot to mention Hugo Weaving.

Hugo Wallace Weaving was born on April 4, 1960 in Nigeria. The middle sibling of three, Hugo has an older brother Simon and a younger sister Anna who both also currently live and work in Australia. During his early childhood, the Weaving family spent most of their time traveling between Nigeria, Great Britain...
“ Yeah, he's white, but he was born in Nigeria therefore he is Nigerian. ”
