LaKeith Stanfield
Born in San Bernardino, outside Los Angeles, Stanfield told Fast Company in 2014 that he “grew up very poor in a fractured family that was dysfunctional on both sides, but I sort of put up these reflectors to most of the negative things that have occurred in my life.”
His breakout role was in Short Term 12, written and directed by Shang-Chi writer-director Destin Daniel Cretton. It also featured Brie Larson.
He has also earned acclaim for Sorry to Bother You and his co-starring role with Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and the Black Messiah. He also appears in the recent The Haunted Mansion.
