8 Huge Stars Who Were In Skins
1. Daniel Kaluuya
Who'd have seen this coming from Posh Kenneth?
A very minor character in the show's first generation, Posh Kenneth was, well, a posh kid who pretended to be a rapper, a wonderful inversion of many black stereotypes that had dominated TV.
However, it was Daniel Kaluuya's work behind the scenes on Skins that set the stage for his remarkable career.
Kaluuya contributed to the show as more than just an actor, writing several episodes in the first two seasons.
Following his time on Skins, Kaluuya appeared on several popular British TV shows, including Doctor Who, Silent Witness, and as "Parking Pataweyo" in Harry and Paul. Seriously, check that last one out. You won't believe it's the same guy from Get Out. Speaking of...
After a much-lauded appearance in Black Mirror, Kaluuya captured everyone's attention with his lead performance in Jordan Peele's modern horror classic, Get Out. This role bagged him an Oscar nomination and the BAFTA Rising Star award.
Since Get Out, Kaluuya has established himself as a proper movie star with roles in huge films like Marvel's Black Panther. His journey to superstardom has been nothing short of amazing and it's been thoroughly deserved.
Seriously - how is this Posh Kenneth?
