Default Spot the African - 03-10-2008, 03:35 PM

Lately i have been playing the spot the african game when i watch movies. There are the usual suspects (idris, chiwetel, djimon) but what about lessor known people. Lets see how many you can name and the movie.

1. mary oyaya - kenyan - Star Wars episode II, Farscape, Lost Souls
2. bambadjan bamba - ivory coast - I think I love my wife (tv - the sopranos, law and order)
3. caroline chikezie - nigeria - Eragon, Breaking and Entering, Take 3 girls, The mistress of spices, As if, Virtual Sexuality and Aeon Flux (was hot on bbc's Footballer's Wives).

Okay, i have started you off. Let's see what you come up with. I know more but want to see if anyone else is noticing the african influx.

Edi Mue Githegi - Kenya - that someone mentioned earlier in one of the threads. He is Boa on Lincoln Heights and has had quite a prolific career. He was also on House as one of the interns. Edi Mue Gathegi, California « Kenyan Jewels

He has had quite an extensive career and I can't wait to see what he gets into next.
