LaKeith Stanfield
Known for
LaKeith Stanfield is an American actor from San Bernardino whose debut in the indie 'Short Term 12' (2013) — expanding a short he made at 17 — announced a singular talent. He became a generational touchstone as the philosophical stoner Darius in Donald Glover's 'Atlanta' (2016-2022), while building an eclectic film run: the abducted friend in 'Get Out' (2017), the surreal satire 'Sorry to Bother You' (2018), 'Uncut Gems' (2019) and 'Knives Out' (2019). His FBI informant Bill O'Neal in 'Judas and the Black Messiah' (2021) brought an Oscar nomination. Off-kilter rhythms and dreamlike unpredictability are his signature.
