Donald Glover
Actor, Musician
Donald Glover’s career is nothing short of dynamic. This year, Glover made waves, taking on a lead role in the Prime Video remake of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." The series earned him 16 Primetime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actor. His ability to seamlessly shift between acting, music and writing has solidified his stance as one of the most versatile and creative talents in entertainment. He first gained attention as a writer for “30 Rock” and later became a fan favorite as Troy Barnes on “Community.” He also created, directed and starred in the critically acclaimed “Atlanta,” a TV show which won him multiple Emmys. But that's only one side of Glover's talents. Under the name Childish Gambino, he has achieved massive success in music, including Grammy Awards for the genre-bending hit “This Is America.” While he may have announced that his 2024 album "Bando Stone & the New World" is set to be the last under that name, he continues to bridge the gap between music and acting with innovative projects.
