Like most people I have watched a lot of Hollywood productions, very rarely do you see an actor acting as a Nigerian in any significant role in a movie. The few exceptions I know include Mr Eko in Lost and CBS’s new production Bob loves Abishola!
Then I stumbled on Mars; a major production by the Geographic Channel now showing on Netflix, that has a Nigerian character. The role is not that of a terrorist, cab driver, nurse, bystander or traveler; but wait for it….wait for it….wait for it…..a mission engineer and roboticist! A crew of 6 humans going on mankind’s first trip to Mars and a Nigerian is there! Unbelievable!
Well its set about 20 years in the future; so maybe, hopefully Nigeria will have developed to join the Space Race by that time.
The character of Robert Foucault is played by Nigerian-American actor Sammi Rotibi who has featured in productions like: Batman vs Superman, Dawn of Justice, Lord of War and Tears of the Sun .
Sammi was born in Lagos and grew up in both Lagos and Maimi, USA.
Mars tells the story of mankind’s first manned journey to the fourth rock from the Sun and efforts to colonize it.
