Meet the Stars of Marvel's 'Black Panther'2 of 12
Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther
A graduate of Howard University and the British American Drama Academy, Chadwick Boseman intended to write and direct. But his career took him on a different path. He first taught drama in Harlem for five years before making the move to Los Angeles to pursue acting. After a string of bit parts on "All My Children," "Law & Order," "ER,” and "Lie to Me," Boseman got his first series regular role on the short-lived crime drama "Lincoln Heights."
Boseman’s breakout role came in 2013 when he was cast as baseball great Jackie Robinson in the biopic 42. In 2014 he took on the role of another legend, James Brown, in the critically acclaimed biopic Get on Up. You can also catch Boseman as the first African-American Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, in the 2017 biopic Marshall.
