David Harewood

David Harewood is an actor and advocate I hold in real esteem. From David Estes in Homeland to a commanding Martian Manhunter in Supergirl, he brings gravitas without ever feeling heavy-handed. Becoming president of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2024, and his MBE recognition, speak to a man who gives back to his craft. What moves me most is his openness about his own mental health, which he has used to genuinely help others. A Birmingham lad from Small Heath who reached the top while staying candid about the cost of getting there, he is someone I admire on and off screen.
