The course of a lifetime runs<br>over and over again
The first audition my manger sent me on was 'The Hunger Games,' and I got the role.
I decided to go to school for advertising and graphic design. That was what I was gonna do but acting is that thing, its like a splinter in your mind and you cant get rid of it. So I decided to move to L. A. a few years ago and it just snowballed into this thing called The Hunger Games.
I was born to a Nigerian dad and a Kenyan mom, and coming to the States was really academic.
Denzel Washington is someone I look up to.
I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and I moved to Anderson, Indiana, in 2003 to go to school. I finished high school in America, then I went to college.
The biggest thing people tell me is that I'll be jaded real soon and that the allure of filmmaking will lose its magic. Not necessarily the fame, but that special thing you create onscreen.
To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.
The two things you cannot do effectively on stage are pray and copulate.

We have to embrace the good over the bad. That has to be one's personal project.
I also made a lot of really great friends on that show [the Voice], so that's one of the most important things that I've taken out of that experience.
