Ghanaian-born, British actor Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is fast establishing himself as one of the UK’s most versatile young thespians.  Chances are that over the past couple of years you would have caught at least one of his many TV and theatre appearances.  Be it as part of the ensemble cast of the BBC’s sophisticated one-for-the-kids comedy sketch show Sorry, I’ve Got No Head, impersonating Kofi Annan on ‘Star Stories’ or starring as Jeremy Charles, the ambitious mayoral candidate with a slight messiah-complex in Kwame-Kwei Armah’s play Seize the Day - Kobna is popping up everywhere. Taking a break from rehearsals for his new play at the Young Vic (August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone), an eloquent and measured Kobna chats to SoulCulture in the theatre’s sunlit bar overlooking London Waterloo.

Some artists exist within the realms of our collective consciousness with a more low-key profile than others. They ply their trade with minimal fuss and for its original purpose - to entertain whilst enlightening. Unfortunately for us, their low-key status means we are not fully exposed to their genius. One such genius is DC native Jeffrey Wright. Mr. Wright is quite possibly the most underrated and underexposed actor of his caliber and generation; Jeffrey Wright's undeniable talent and ability to successfully bring to life any role he undertakes is on a par with the most praised and revered A-list actors in the business.
