Daniel Kaluuya (/kəˈluːjə/; born 24 February 1989) is an English[1] actor. Prominent both on screen and stage, he has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards, and a Golden Globe Award. In 2021, he was named among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.[2]

Kaluuya began his acting career as a teenager in improvisational theatre.[3] He played Posh Kenneth in the first two seasons of the television series Skins (2007–2009); he also co-wrote some of the episodes.[4] Kaluuya drew praise for his leading performance in Sucker Punch at the Royal Court Theatre in 2010.[5] He went on to gain attention for his television roles in the Doctor Who special episode "Planet of the Dead" (2009), Psychoville (2009–2011), The Fades (2011), and the Black Mirror episode "Fifteen Million Merits" (2011).[6] He also had supporting roles in the films Johnny English Reborn (2011), Kick-Ass 2 (2013), and Sicario (2015).

In 2017, Kaluuya had his breakthrough starring in Jordan Peele's horror film Get Out, which garnered him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.[7] This was followed by starring roles in Ryan Coogler's superhero film Black Panther (2018), Steve McQueen's crime drama Widows (2018), Peele's horror film Nope (2022), and Sony Pictures Animation's animated superhero film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). For his portrayal of Black Panther Party leader Fred Hampton in the biopic Judas and the Black Messiah (2021), he won the BAFTA and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.[8][9] He has since co-directed the drama The Kitchen (2023).
