Kaaris

Kaaris, born in Cocody, Côte d'Ivoire, on January 30, 1980, isn’t exactly your run-of-the-mill actor or composer. The guy’s got an edge, something raw and electric that leaks into every single project he touches. You might know him for his music—heavy, gritty, a bit ruthless—but he’s got some real chops when it comes to film, too. Take Bastille Day (2016) for example—he plays a character that just oozes tension, bouncing off Idris Elba and Richard Madden with this quiet but unmistakable menace. He doesn’t need to say much; you just feel it. Jump to Overdrive (2017), and it’s a whole different vibe. Fast cars, high-stakes heists, and Kaaris right there in the thick of it. He brings a punch to the screen—kind of like he’s ready to throw down at any second, but with this cool confidence. It’s not over-the-top, just… believable. You know the guy’s not faking anything. And then there’s Rogue City (2020), where things get even grittier. Hard-boiled cops, dirty streets, the whole nine yards. Kaaris slips into that world like he was born for it—tough, no-nonsense, and honestly, a bit intimidating. There’s this authenticity to him, like he’s lived some of these stories, or at least seen them up close. So, yeah, Kaaris isn’t just coasting on his music fame. He’s carving out his own space in cinema, scene by scene. If you’re into movies with a pulse, you’ll want to keep an eye on him.
