Keith Stanfield
If you happened to catch Short Term 12 (2013), then Stanfield’s performance as a troubled teen is likely burned into your memory. Since then, the rapper turned actor has landed memorable roles like that of activist Jimmie Lee Jackson and Snoop Dogg in Selma and Straight Outta Compton, respectively. This year alone, the California native has added three more notches to his blockbuster belt, starring opposite Brad Pitt in Netflix’s War Machine, opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Oliver Stone’s thriller Snowden, and opposite Don Cheadle in the Miles Davis biopic, Miles Ahead.
