Gbola Adewunmi Skuespiller
British actor with authentic RP, American and Nigerian accents, also portraying an East African accent for BBC's Heart & Soul: Forgiveness - suited to UK, US, African and international casting, including US productions filming in Europe and the UK. His range spans ranger, doctor, villain, double agent and cheating husband, including leads in The Chameleon and award-winning short Poachers; his portrayal of reformed assassin Hieronymous Burton in The Continental (John Wick spin-off) led producers to write him an extra scene. Trained in stage combat, firearms and military-tactical work, he is a Tier 1 actor at Identity School of Acting (alumni: Letitia Wright, Damson Idris etc.). Recent auditions: Oscar Finlay in Reacher, Mr Loomis in The Artful Dodger; finals for Pepsi and Specsavers.
