Making a steady climb towards success from the time he was a teenager, actor Lakeith Stanfield was perhaps best known for his role on the groundbreaking series "Atlanta" (FX, 2016-). His big break came when he was cast as Mark in the short film "Short Term 12" (2008). Still more prominent roles would follow, such as Jimmie Lee Jackson in the acclaimed civil rights movie "Selma" (2014), a co-starring role in the indie hit "Dope" (2015),  & Don Cheadle's "Miles Ahead" (2016). The same year, Stanfield joined the cast of "Atlanta," starring alongside series creator Donald Glover. He also starred in Jordan Peele's "Get Out" (2017).
