The son of immigrants from Nigeria, he has played almost entirely African characters despite having been born and raised in England. He usually employs a deep, Nigerian timber while acting, while off-screen he has a very British, somewhat c*ckney accent. Born on the same day as the Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley. He went from playing Ernie Hudson's good friend, the guide "Kahega" to Hudson's "Capt. Munro" in Congo (1995), to playing his enemy, the sociopath "Adebisi" to Hudson's hard-headed "Warden Glynn" in "Oz" (1997). Has a masters in Law from the University of London, but took a different career path when bitten by the acting bug. Is perhaps best known for his role as the cunning, fierce super-criminal Adebisi on "Oz" (1997).Adewale Akinnuoye Agbaje's Best Moments
