Jeffrey Wright, born in 1965, commands the stage and screen with a versatility that spans from Broadway to blockbuster franchises. His Tony and Emmy-winning portrayal of Belize in "Angels in America" solidified his status as a dramatic powerhouse, while his roles in "Basquiat," the James Bond series, and "Boardwalk Empire" demonstrated his ability to blend gravitas with charisma. In recent years, Wright has added depth to his repertoire as Bernard Lowe in "Westworld" and as the Watcher in the MCU’s "What If...?" His range and dedication have seen him take on the weighty mantle of Commissioner James Gordon in "The Batman," further cementing his status as a chameleonic actor capable of commanding any screen.
