CHADWICK BOSEMAN

Chadwick Boseman was a black African American actor and playwright from the 2000s to the 2020s. Some of his movies include: 42 (in the title role as Jackie Robinson), Get on Up (as James Brown), Marshall (in the title role as Thurgood Marshall), Black Panther (in the title role as T'Challa/Black Panther), and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (nominated posthumously for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). Chadwick passed away in 2020 at the age of 43 from colon cancer (a diagnosis he had for four years, while making several of his blockbuster films!).
