Francis C. Edemobi is a Nigerian-American actor drawn to characters caught in the act of becoming, people fighting to prove themselves, find their place, and believe in who they're capable of being. It's a thread that runs through his work both on stage and on screen, and one that traces back to his own experience straddling two cultures and building an identity from both.

Trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and the Identity School of Acting, Edemobi has worked extensively in theatre, including Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, One Man, Two Guv'nors (A Noise Within), Sense & Sensibility, Our Lady of 121st Street (Kimball Theatre), Rotterdam, and The Pilot Who Crashed the Party (directed by Tony Award winner Paul Sand). He won first place at the Grown Folk August Wilson Monologue Competition, judged by Dominique Morisseau, and was selected as a Hillman Grad Mentee under Lena Waithe.

Breaking into film, Edemobi stars in the breakout indie feature VOICES: The Musical, which premiered at ABFF and TIFF. As a filmmaker, his recent work includes 2 Dinners (Palm Springs Shortfest) and Socrates — a passion project helmed by horror legend Ken Sagoes, currently in post-production.
