I just saw him in Roxanne, Roxanne too. He's like, in everything right now.

I read up on him a bit the other night, and he shortened his first name (from Mahershalalhashbaz) because it wouldn't fit on a movie poster. He was given the choice of something shorter or M. Ali. Now that he has leverage, he should tell the next movie studio he's going back to Mahershalalhashbaz. "Make it fit."

He was a series regular in his first imdb credit (Crossing Jordan). I think the first thing I saw him in was probably Treme.
