the Identity School of Acting, Hackney. Before his huge breakout role
in the latest installment of theStar Wars franchise, he acted in the
film adaptation of Half of A Yellow Sun, written by fellow Nigerian,
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Notably, he was an acquaintance of Damilola
Taylor, the Nigerian schoolboy in England who was gunned down in 2000.
