When you hear the name Jimmy Akingbola without fail it is always followed up with, ‘He’s one of the nicest men in the business.’ and I have to agree. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy for a number of years, he’s a busy man but always has time for you.
The London born actor has had such an eclectic career, but perhaps his latest project Bel-Air is one of the most exciting. We all remember the ‘80s classic The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which catapulted Will Smith to stardom, well the show has been re-imagined for a 21st century audience, and Jimmy’s nuanced performance as Geoffrey the house manager leaves an indelible impression. I was lucky enough to have a much overdue catch-up with him, as we reflect on his career and ceaseless commitment to his craft.
