Biografia
Ejogo is best known for her breakthrough role in the television movie Boycott as Coretta Scott King. She was nominated for an Image Award for her portrayal of the forceful civil rights activist who carried on her husband's dream of a unified America. Ejogo co-starred in director Sam Mendes' film Away We Go, where she played the seemingly all together sister of Maya Rudolph.
Ejogo was born in London, England to a Nigerian father and Scottish mother. She made her first film in 1986 and has gone on to play a wide range of roles in both television and feature films, including a supporting role in The Avengers opposite Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman and a co-starring role as a woman struggling for racial equality in the television mini-series Color Blind. However, it was her portrayal of the title character in Sally Hemmings: An American Scandal that brought her to critics' and audiences' attention. She followed this with co-starring roles in the Kenneth Branagh adaptation of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost and in Michael Rymer's feature film Perfume. Continuing to forge a career defined by great range, she also starred in the comedy What's The Worst That Could Happen? opposite Danny DeVito and Martin Lawrence, and in the action film Metro opposite Eddie Murphy.
Ejogo once again came to critics' attention as part of the ensemble cast of Ruben Santiago-Hudson's critically acclaimed television movie Lackawanna Blues. The movie and its cast were nominated for seven Emmy Awards, two Independent Spirit Awards and a Television Critics Association Award. The film was awarded a Humanitas Prize, and won both a National Board of Review Award and an NAACP Image Award. In addition, Ejogo was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for her performance. Ejogo co-starred opposite Ed Norton in Gavin O'Connor's film Pride and Glory and opposite Terrence Howard in Neil Jordan's film The Brave One.
Ejogo lives in New York with her husband and two children.
