Eme Ikwuakor (pronounced Ick-Walker) will be seen next starring opposite Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson in the Roland Emmerich Sci Fi film, Moonfall set to release in theaters on February 4th.

Ikwuakor is best known for playing 'Gorgon', one of the leads on ABC's "Marvel's Inhumans". Some of his television series credits include Counterpart, NCIS, How To Get Away With Murder, Victorious, Silicon Valley, Castle, Hawaii 5-0, Extant, and Netflix's hit series "On My Block".

In addition to Ink, he has been featured in the films "Concussion" (with Will Smith) "Murder in the Dark," "Not Safe for Work," and "The Outlaw Johnny Black" opposite Michael Jai White. His next movie is the Russo Brother's "The Gray Man" with Chris Evans for Netflix.

Eme is a triplet, one of six siblings (five brothers & 1 sister), born in Arvada, Colorado and the son of Nigerian parents. Eme's dad, Killian Ikwuakor, came to the U.S on scholarship to the Colorado School of Mines and graduated with a PHD in Geophysics and mother Patricia, currently runs a business in African Imports/Exports.

Attending the University of Colorado on a track and field scholarship, he was considering a sports marketing major until an advisor recommended a theater major. Ikwuakor signed up and was quickly cast in the part of Tom Robinson in "To Kill a Mockingbird." It became a life-changing experience. Always fascinated by history and African-American rights issues, Ikwuakor then became heavily involved in the Interactive Theater Project in Colorado, a professional acting troupe that specialized in theater for social change. This experience became a great influence on his career goals. Ikwuakor is passionate about standing up for causes like Standing Rock, Race and Socio-economic related issues.

During this period, he was cast in "Ink," the critically-acclaimed, locally produced, independent science fiction feature that won Best Colorado Film at the 2009 Denver Film Critics Society awards and was considered "one of the best films of 2009. (JoBlo)"

He currently resides in Los Angeles with his beautiful wife Megha.
