Daniel Kaluuya went from television actor to breakout movie star

Kaluuya has been acting since childhood. While growing up in London, he performed at his local Anna Scher Theatre School and WAC Arts.

When he was a teenager, Kaluuya landed the role of Posh Kenneth on the British teen comedy series Skins, which he was a contributing writer on for the first two seasons and the head writer of the episodes titled “Jal” and “Thomas.”

Following his stint on Skins, the actor appeared as a guest star on several television series, including Silent Witness, the Doctor Who special “Planet of the Dead,” and Lewis.

In 2011, Kaluuya gained the attention of comedian/ filmmaker Jordan Peele following a performance in the Netflix series Black Mirror. Peele later cast the actor in the horror film Get Out, which proved to be his breakout role.

After his groundbreaking performance in the horror film, Kaluuya’s career skyrocketed with him landing roles in blockbusters films such as Black Panther, Widows, and Queen & Slim, in which he played the male lead.

His most recent project was starring as the revolutionary socialist Fred Hampton in the biographical drama Judas and the Black Messiah. His performance in the film was applauded by critics and earned him the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture and the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Kaluuya and Crichlow have appeared on multiple red carpets together, fueling speculation that they are a couple.

Not only did she accompany him to the 2018 Golden Globes, but the pair also attended that year’s SAG Awards, the NAACP Awards, the premiere of Black Panther, and the 90th Academy Awards together.

Who is Amandla Crichlow?

Like Kaluuya, Crichlow is also an actor who’s appeared in a few television shows over the years. She’s also an acclaimed film producer, having worked for creative companies like Framestore, Tiger Aspect, and even Kaluuya’s production company, called 59%. 

Though she’s been making a name for herself in the entertainment industry these last few years, it turns out that the Crichlow name was well-known long before now, thanks to her famous relatives.

According to Oprah Daily, Crichlow is the daughter of British Black activist Frank Crichlow, who The Guardian describes as a “stalwart symbol of Black urban resistance in the face of police persecution.”

She’s also the sister of actor Lenora Crichlow, who has most famously made appearances in television shows such as Being Human and Black Mirror.
