Chad Boseman: A SC Native - Ruler of Wakanda

YES; as the February 2018 TIME magazine cover points out, “A Hero Rises”! If anyone makes it to the cover of TIME magazine, well let’s just say that person has made it’s mark in the world, impacting lives and society on a large scale. That certainly qualifies CHADWICK BOSEMAN. He was “timeless” in Black Panther and one year later after appearing on Time magazine last year, Chad remains a star to watch. His latest film is Avengers: Endgame which will be released April 26, 2019.

BRAVO, Chad!

South Carolina natives are certainly proud of Chad. He was born in Anderson, SC in 1977. His southern routes are evident in his hospitable and gentlemanly character. His strong presence while in a room is noticeable no matter the audience. Attending a Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCU] institution, he’s a graduate of Howard University in Washington, DC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Directing and also attended the British American Academy in London. Phylicia Rashad was one of his teachers at Howard and became his mentor. Chad has been an “active actor” since 2000. Chad’s craft has won him roles that had us making our way to the TV to see him act and now, fans get in line at movie theaters to see him. His brilliant acting work is notable in:

1. 42 as Jackie Robinson

2. Get on Up as James Brown

3. Marshall as Thurgood Marshall

4. Captain America: Civil War as superhero Black Panther

5. Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War as the superhero

6. Lincoln Heights

7.Persons Unknown

8. The Express

9. Draft Day

10. Message from the King

✔️11. Black Panther as Ruler of Wakanda

12. Avengers: Endgame

13. Gods of Egypt as Thoth

[And Countless Unlisted TV Roles]

It’s safe to say that Chad’s most popular, acting based on movie critics, was his role as the Ruler of Wakanda in the Black Panther movie. The success of the movie certainly deserves the applause of the creator, producers and his very talented co-actors. And they got it!!!

*Stated in March 2018: “Since it opened on Feb. 16, “Black Panther” has continued to crush milestones, including passing the $1 billion mark at the global box office in just 26 days. It made $12.9 million at the international box office this weekend, bringing its total worldwide gross to $1.23 billion.” The gross amount has increased since 2018.

“Boseman was raised a Christian. He was baptized and part of a church choir and youth group. His former pastor said that he still keeps his faith. Boseman has stated that he prayed to be the Black Panther before he was cast as the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” -Wikipedia
