As one of the most prolific actors of his generation, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly where most audiences will know Beau Bridges from; but, his breakout performance in 1989's The Fabulous Baker Boys seems like the place to start. Playing alongside his brother (the great Jeff Bridges), Beau brought a fresh sense of humor and maturity to the silv...
He may be almost 20 years older, but Lance Reddick is still able to bring the no-nonsense depth of The Wire's Cedric Daniels to his roles today. Brother Kareem, Reddick's latest role, is Malcolm X's bodyguard, a steadying presence in an increasingly tumultuous night. While Lance Reddick is most known for playing Cedric Daniels, in many ways, Brothe...
Unless you're an avid theatre-goer in Atlanta, Georgia, you probably aren't familiar with the face of Christian Magby. This young man is another one of Malcolm X's bodyguards, Jamaal, but unlike Brother Kareem, he is a little more of a fanboy. Jamaal is all smiles at the sight of the celebrities, and his most pivotal scene comes halfway through the...
Joaquina Kalukango is one of the underrated winners of One Night in Miami. Portraying Betty X, Malcolm's wife and rock, Kalukango stands out as the only major female character, yet she milks every second she's on the screen. She transforms herself into a dedicated mother and a tired but patient wife to a restless Malcolm X. This film comes just aft...

His face has cropped up from time to time, from a recurring character on Hawaii Five-O to a supporting performance in 2019's Primal, but this is the first major blockbuster for Imperioli since The Sopranos ende...
Cassius Clay's other cornerman, Drew Bundini Brown, is another familiar face for 2000's HBO subscribers: Lawrence Gilliard Jr. One of the stars from The Wire's earliest seasons, Gilliard Jr. portrayed D'Angelo Barksdale, who returns alongside Imperioli to train a young Cassius Clay. Unlike his costar, Lawrence Gilliard Jr. has maintained a steady p...
This may just be the big break for young and talented Eli Goree, who portrays Cassius Clay right as he claims the title of World Champion and just before his conversion to Islam. Goree, who is not just a lookalike to Clay, channels all of the infamous boxer's mannerisms, charisma, and speech patterns to perfection. Audiences may recognize this hunk...
The pressure was on for Aldis Hodge, as his portrayal of Jim Brown is the only major character in this film whose real-life counterpart is still alive. Luckily for Jim Brown, his depiction was in the hands of an expert. Fans with longer memories may remember Aldis Hodge as MC Ren from 2015's Straight Outta Compton, or Levi Jackson from 2016's Hidde...
It's no easy feat to go from playing the villain (or hero?) in Hamilton, the most awarded musical of the 21st century, to portraying Sam Cooke, himself a musical legend. Or maybe the transition wasn't very difficult at all. Both are complicated men, renowned for the progress they made in their respective fields, but whose legacies are rightfully bl...
While this is a film about four friends, there is no doubt that the stand-out and main performance belongs to Kingsley Ben-Adir for his depiction of Malcolm X. It as soft-spoken and complex as Denzel Washington's iconic portrayal of the same man is fiery and passionate. For many in the audience, this is an introduction to Kingsley Ben-Adir, but for...
