Ahaise

Ahaise is the kind of guy who doesn’t just dip his toes in—he cannonballs straight into whatever he does. Born in Uganda, now rocking it as a Ugandan-American, he’s worn a bunch of hats: actor, model, entrepreneur, you name it. His acting kicked off with a bang, landing a lead role in "Surely Goodness And Mercy" at the Salt Lake Acting Company. Chisa Hutchinson wrote it, and Ahaise wasn’t just some passing face—he was in the original cast before the show hit the road and started touring. That’s not a small feat. After that, he popped up on the Disney Channel’s "Andi Mack." Yeah, the one all the kids were watching. Then he shared the screen with Tatyana Ali—yep, Ashley Banks from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"—in "A Picture Perfect Holiday." Not bad for a guy who just started out, right? And he’s not just working with randoms; names like Jordan Peele, Sofia Wylie, and even Spike Lee have crossed his path. But here’s where things go deeper. Ahaise isn’t just about fame or looking good on screen. He’s crazy passionate about his African roots and wants everyone to hear stories from the continent that don’t usually get much airtime. So, he rolled up his sleeves and co-produced "My Stand," a short film where he also took the lead. The movie dives into the messy, real-life struggles African men face with mental health—and trust me, it doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It’s raw, honest, and the kind of storytelling that actually means something.
