^^^^ yeah me too. But he would blend right in if he wore an agbada, he does look Nigerian now that I think of it.
That Godfrey guy is good too. He's got one of his shows being sold on iTunes. That's bigtime. Happy for all of them.

There is no set look to being Nigerian as we are very diverse people. If fact if any of you were to travel to the Caribbean or even America you would probably find your double there.

Born in New York City, Faison joined the cast in 2006. He is the third actor to play the role, after Miles Orman and Imani Patterson. His character has become a more integral part of the show's cast in the last couple of years, perhaps mostly to fulfill Sesame Workshop's need to sustain youth among the cast, as the old guard of the show ages.
Faison is the lead singer and the guitarist for the Universal/Motown group Imajin. He spends much of his time between tapings of Sesame Street, practicing in the halls of the Kaufman Astoria Studios, where the show is shot.[1]

She has appeared in many roles in the theatre, on television and in films, for example in Sorted, People Like Us, Teachers, Love Actually, Nathan Barley, Renaissance, Casanova, as Karen Blaine in the Jonathan Creek episode "The Three Gamblers", Much Ado About Nothing, Cape Wrath/Meadowlands, the Doctor Who episode "Fear Her", and FM.

In 2008 she returned to the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Rosaline in Love's Labour's Lost and in 2009 appeared in a radio adaptation of a story from the short-story collection The State of the Art.

She reads the part of Sephy on the audio book versions of Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series.

In January 2010 Nina was in a production at the Novello Theatre, London, in the production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams as Mae Pollock.

She appeared as Colly Trent in series 2 of the BBC television drama, Five Days. Most recently she appeared in the BBC4 television series Twenty Twelve, a comedy about the London 2012 Olympic buildup, and the BBC1 drama series Silk and Hustle. She also made a brief appearance in the children's CBBC science fiction series, Wizards vs Aliens as Benny Sherwood's mother, Trisha.

Charles "Chucky" Venn (formerly Venice) (born 24 June 1973, Kilburn, London, England) is an English actor, best known for two television roles, in both of which he played footballers: Curtis Alexander in Sky One's Dream Team and Tremaine Gidigbi in Footballers' Wives.

Born in London, he grew up on the tough Mozart estate, which was at the time a notorious inner-London sink estate.[1] As a boy his passion was for athletics, and he didn't catch the acting bug until he was eighteen. He took a variety of roles as a jobbing actor, using the surname Venice. He got his big break in 2003 when he was cast as Curtis Alexander in the footballing drama Dream Team on the satellite channel Sky One. Initially only contracted to appear in two episodes, he became part of the regular cast, appearing in 98 episodes in all until the character was killed off in 2005.

Venice moved to another football drama the following year, appearing as the cuckolded 'alpha male' Tremaine Gidigbi in the final season of Footballers Wives.

In late 2006 Venice landed a role in the horror film sequel Return to House on Haunted Hill as Warren. He also had a small roles in Bourne Ultimatum, as Agent Hammond, and The Dark Knight, as bodyguards of one of the film's main villains, Gambol. He can also be seen in the music video "Twisted" by Fredi Kruga.

Venice guest starred in an episode of the series Little Miss Jocelyn, which aired in January 2008. Chucky was also seen on an episode in the third season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List where Kathy visits the UK and the pair go on a date. His on-screen time lasted just over a minute, and he was subtitled throughout when the episode aired 17 July 2007. Prior to the Hull City-Tottenham Hotspur game on Setanta Sports on 23 February, Venice performed a strange monologu.

Venn is noted for having a muscular physique, and regularly works out, citing sex and running as his favourite cardio-vascular activities. He also states he puts in extra time at the gym for roles which require a degree of nudity.[2]

Chucky has recently changed his stage name from 'Venice' back to 'Venn', insisting on being addressed by his real surname from here on. He has signed himself 'Chucky Venn (formerly Venice)' on his Myspace page.[3] However he has continued to make acting appearances under the surname Venice.

He appeared in the play The Brothers by Angie Le Mar at the Hackney Empire for several short runs from 2005. It was televised by MTV Base in March 2009 with Venn, MC Harvey and Jason Barrett in the line-up.[4]

Chucky joined the cast of BBC One soap EastEnders in the role of Ray Dixon, the father of Morgan Jackson-King, in November 2011, appearing in the series from 10 January 2012
