7 Community Alumni Who Went On To Work In Sci-Fi
3. Donald Glover
After Community, Troy Barnes actor Donald Glover got busy. It paid off. He's since made a name for himself as a musician, rapping as Childish Gambino, as well as a writer, director, and actor for the award winning comedy series Atlanta.
Two of Glover's most notable post Community roles saw him take on sci-fi, first in The Martian and then more iconically in some of Billy Dee Williams' capes from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. He, of course, played Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story, oozing just as much charisma as Williams before him.
Though Solo, like pretty much all Disney produced Star Wars films, divided fans right down the middle, nearly everyone agreed that Glover's Lando stole the show and should come back to the Star Wars Universe in a future project.
When Abed finds out that Troy was in Star Wars, he's gonna flip.
