MADE LIFE
TESSA THOMPSON Actress
Tessa Thompson , another Los Angeles native , has been making headlines from her tremendous style to her roles in the last two years alone in films such as Creed , Selma , and Dear White People . BuzzFeed News Associate Features Editor , Anita Badejo , stated in a recent interview “ At a time when Hollywood is finally developing the kinds of projects for actors of color that had traditionally been out of reach , Tessa Thompson ’ s ascent to the A-list isn ’ t just welcome — it ’ s necessary .” When referencing the evolution of representation of black people in film , Thompson makes an interesting example due to the fact that she initially had to force her hand in being a part of gender and race specific roles . Whereas now she is being casted in once traditionally white genres . Marvel announced this September that Thompson will play Valkyrie , a Norse warrior goddess , in Thor : Ragnarok .

The Howard alum has created a rumble amongst his peers in the acting world . Chadwick Boseman performs like a seasoned vet in highly appointed roles with the mission on pursuing the stories that go untold .
Boseman also has a few playwright credits under his belt . Never admitting to being a celebrity , the actor exudes his humility when skimping on his accolades that include nominations for Breakthrough Performance of
of the Year . The actor and producer is widely known for his roles in Captain America : Civil War , 42 , and Get on Up . The Santa Barbara Independent conducted an interview with Boseman and asked if he was worried about getting slighted by the Academy and HFPA . The short answer is that he ’ s not . The longer and more hilarious answer is this :
“ When it comes down to it , I ’ d rather have an action figure than a Golden Globe .” Boseman was casted in the Marvel role as Black Panther last year and has not lost momentum despite being snubbed for previous work . At this rate , we predict an Oscar nomination coming soon .
