This Nigerian gentleman (via U.K) is in our March 2007 Issue with Rachel Roy discussing his upcoming movie with Denzel Washington & Russell Crowe titled, "AMERICAN GANGSTER" and CHILDREN OF MEN with Clive Owen & Julianne Moore (His best movie to date in my opinion) But lets do a movie roll call before we continue-Shall we....He has been in:
