11 Ghanaian Actors who are shinning in Hollywood
To most actors the world over, having a place in America’s movie industry, is their utmost desire.
Being the world’s largest movie industry, Hollywood has been the model for most movie industries in different parts of the world.
Ghanaians for many years have been worried about breaking boundaries to win Grammy Awards, the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards, the Oscars, and the like.
However, there are some Ghanaian living in Europe and America who are making great strides in the entertainment industry.
While it has been difficult for Ghanaians born in Ghana to gain such prominence in Hollywood, being born in America or Europe and sometimes, having a parent as a citizen of these places is the trump card to the artist easily breaking through the Hollywood market.
With the exception of Abraham Attah and a few others, most of the Ghanaians making an impact in Hollywood are of mixed parentage or were born in either the Americas or Europe.
Let’s take a look at some of these Ghanaians making Ghana proud in Hollywood:
1. Cynthia Addai-Robinson
Actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson is an American actress of Ghanaian descent. She is known for her roles as Naevia in the Starz television series Spartacus and DC Comics character Amanda Waller in The CW TV series Arrow.
Since November 2016, she plays the role of Nadine Memphis on the USA Network series Shooter.
Addai-Robinson was born on January 12, 1985, in London. Her mother is from Ghana and her father, a US citizen. She moved to the U.S. when she was 4 and was raised by her mother in a suburb of Washington, D.C.
Cynthia is a graduate of Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland and Tisch School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater.
In addition, she trained at Lee Strasberg Theater Institute and in dance forms ballet, jazz and tap. She received some special forces-style training by Navy SEALs and New Zealand Special Air Service personnel during the filming of Spartacus: War of the Damned.
2. Boris Kodjoe
Boris Frederic Cecil Tay-Natey Ofuatey-Kodjoe better known as Boris Kodjoe, is an Austrian-born actor of German and Ghanaian descent known for his roles as Kelby in the 2002 film Brown Sugar, the sports-courier agent Damon Carter on the Showtime drama series Soul Food and was a recurring character on FOX’s The Last Man on Earth.
He currently co-stars on BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood and the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, Station 19.
Kodjoe was born in Vienna, Austria, the son of Ursula, a German psychologist of partially Jewish descent, and Eric Kodjoe, a Ghanaian physician who is of the Krobo people[citation needed]. His namesake is the Russian poet and writer Boris Pasternak.
Kodjoe’s matrilineal great-grandmother was Jewish and died in the Holocaust; his maternal grandmother survived the war in hiding. Kodjoe’s parents divorced when he was six years old.
In December 2018 he visited Ghana with some 40 Black Hollywood stars, who visited some historic places in Ghana and also took time to connect with their ancestry.
3. Abraham Attah
When he was cast in ‘Beast of No Nation’ in 2015, little did people know the 14-year-old Ashaiman boy was going to cross over to the other world of the make-believe industry so soon.
To achieve a feat many adult actors could not attain within such a short period of time, some have described Abraham’s breakthrough as one of divine influence.
Abraham Nii Attah, born 2 July 2001, is a Ghanaian actor, who currently lives in the United States of America for his career and education.
His leading role as child soldier Agu in ‘Beast No Nation’ won him the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actor at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival.

There’s Nothing Like Worldly People, Most Of These People Possess Good Characters – Herty Bongreat
Gospel artist Herty Bongreat recently shared her thoughts on why she chose to collaborate with secular artists Sarkodie and Trigmatic. Her response highlighted the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances. “People we perceive as ‘worldly’ often possess remarkable humanistic qualities, even surpassing those who claim to know Christ.”
Herty emphasized the need to engage with others before making judgments. “Comparing their lifestyle to that of some people within the church reveals a stark difference.”
In addition to her thoughts on collaboration, Herty also shared valuable advice on parenting in the digital age. “As parents, we must be proactive and involved in our children’s lives, especially online. Assuming we know what they’re doing can lead to unawareness of potential issues.”
Herty’s words serve as a reminder to approach others with an open mind and to prioritize involvement in our children’s lives.
