For those who dont know some of his movie credits include the taking of pelham 123, edge of darkness,the barbers shop,the savages, lottery ticket, the wire, the good wife to name a few.
while in Nigeria he did a series of interviews where he talked about the impression he had of ngeria before his home coming and his new found passion to revisit his home land. Though Gbenga was born in Washington DC over three decades ago this young man is certainly not ignorant when it comes to his Nigerian heritage.He looks forward to visiting his home country more often and is quite open to working with the Nollywood industry.
