Such an incredible actor, he deservedly won the Oscar for his turn as Juan. Despite only being in one third of Moonlight, he certainly made quite an impact on Chiron’s life!

He’s amazing. I’m one of those people who didn’t know him prior to House of Cards. But I’ve been following him ever since. And I need to know where he gets his beanies because they’re perfect (not too large or too small).

No Hidden Figures? I know his role was small but that was my Mahershala Ali gateway drug.
