Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II has already achieved what many actors only dream of: an Emmy win and a Tony nomination within his first decade of work. His Emmy for Watchmen placed him among the top tier of television actors, and his Broadway debut in Topdog/Underdog earned critical acclaim. He has been recognized by the Critics' Choice Association and was named to HuffPost's Culture Shifters and The Hollywood Reporter's NextGen lists. His ability to move between big-budget franchises and intimate dramas has made him a standout of his generation.
