Chiwetel Ejiofor: An actor's journey

Chiwetel Ejiofor is hardly a household name, but his harrowing performance in the film "12 Year's a Slave" is beginning to change all that. He's been nominated for almost every Best Actor award this season, including an Oscar. Lee Cowan reports.

He speaks with no bitterness or self pity about (the sad moments) his life and that's weirdly refreshing because it leaves the audience room to grieve for him. It's a strange quality that I find in certain people who have overcome a lot with dignity and grace. He portrays this in one of my favorite movies with him in it: Dirty Pretty Things.
Underrated performance and movie.

He is no doubt one of the best actors in Hollywood.

One of the few actors who I look forward to seeing when I see that he's in a film.  Dude is proven.

That’s dedication. He went and found an original copy of the book from 1853 about Solomon Northrop. He’s an extraordinary man, Mr. Ejiofor.

First time i noticed this actor was from the movie serenity... then whenever i randomly saw him in other movies I recognized him.. He is a great actor.. totally underrated.. Any part he has been in I enjoyed his character. Also he has some great martial art talent.. His fight scenes look very good.. he should be more popular .. underrated actor.

I am so excited! This is an actor who has been created in my mind.

I can hear the deeper, raspier sound in his voice that would be fantastic for Scar in The Lion King Remake

[DeadmanInc]

And to think, he's rumored to be Scar in the upcoming Lion King remake.

[nalavirusguerrero]

I so badly want him to be good at playing scar but I can’t get over Jeremy irons not being casted

[JayDbd]

Who else was waiting for Bobby from Four Brothers come out and call him out😉😆

[andrepaul]

Even us people in the UK be shocked at some actors be in British

[filmladyproduction]

should have been a household name around the world have you seen his body of work?? wikipedia ..omg..he just needs a great film to challenge his acting abilities and he is amazing

[loreljacq]

First time I saw him in a movie I thought this guy is a special actor...curiously I went to the same school as Steven McQueen he was a year below relatively quiet as far as I recall. You can never forget your school days likes dislikes they come back to haunt you and make you laugh from time to time. Drayton Manor School.

Its really true that if a black man wants to make it in Hollywood he has to put on a dress...sad.

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.- repent and believe the Jesus Died for you to take away your sin before it's too late- he is coming again and if you do not do so you will go to hell
