Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje career seems to be in very good shape as he has made a strong transition from television to film over the past few years. His portrayal of Adebisi in OZ probably has a lot to do with me not ever going to jail (knock on wood).

His cold tough guy stares will make John Wayne pee in his cowboy boots, but it seems like the actor is trying to branch out a bit in his last few roles. As in The Thing he takes on a bit more of comic approach to his character, but don't worry he'll be back to his evil ways in Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head. In that movie he'll play Sylvester Stallone's arch nemesis. The movie is based on the french graphic novel, Du plomb dans la tête (Bullet to the Head).

He’s British playing an American.

" I'm British playing an American, impersonating a German who's faking a French accent of someone raised in South Africa with a lisp and a chronic studdering problem."
Is it me, or did that dude interviewing him slather his face with olive oil before filming?

They either kill him off first or he dies a really dumb death. Look at Leviathan. The creature survives a nuke just long enough to kill Ernie Hudson. Then it's a little spear to the head. Couldn't have done that under water?
