Kevin Golding
Kevin Golding, straight outta London, has this way of taking over a scene without even trying. He pops up in films like My Day and Chasing Shadows (both from 2019), and honestly, the guy just delivers. It's not just feature films either; his short film game is strong. Uncle Mike (2020) and Jasper (2015) both got people talking, with Jasper snagging some pretty sweet nominations—best Narrative Short at the LA Pan African Film Festival in 2015, and Best Foreign Short at San Francisco Black Film Festival in 2016. Not bad, right?
But Kevin isn’t just a movie guy; theatre geeks know what’s up. He’s basically a regular with the Royal Shakespeare Company. If you caught their Hamlet in 2016—the one that everyone wouldn’t shut up about—yeah, that was him. He’s also done King Lear and Cymbeline, so clearly, the dude isn’t afraid of a challenge. More recently, in 2022, he took on Leonato in their Afro Futuristic take on Much Ado About Nothing. That production was wild—bold, colorful, seriously cool, and Kevin just owned it.
Honestly, whether it’s indie films, shorts, or classic theatre, Golding’s got this chameleon vibe. You never really know what he’ll do next, but you can bet it’ll be good. He’s one of those actors who doesn’t just play a part—he kinda makes you forget you’re watching one. That’s rare.
