Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is the kind of actor whose face you recognize instantly even when the name takes a beat. His Adebisi in Oz and Mr. Eko in Lost were magnetic, commanding presences that shifted the temperature of every scene. What impresses me is the range behind them: he writes and directs as well as acts, and he earned a bachelor's from the University of London before a master's in law from King's College London, which speaks to real grit. Still working in projects like Euphoria, he is aging into his craft beautifully. I have a soft spot for character actors who make supporting roles unforgettable, and he is a master of exactly that.
