Future Black History Month: Shameik Moore's 'Dope' Rise to Stardom
Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by highlighting a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our very eyes. Today we are honoring Shameik Moore, who is one of the exciting new stars to join Hollywood.
The 21-year-old first entered the entertainment scene as an actor and made his big break in 2015's Dope. His portrayal of Malcolm Adekanbi in the movie was witty and relatable. It was refreshing to see a young black man play an awkward geek in a leading role, and Moore's impressive performance stuck with you until the end.
