No Kenyan actor has landed more roles in Hollywood than Edi Gathegi. From playing nomadic vampire Laurent in The Twilight Saga film series, to the mutant Darwin in X Men: First Class, to the Mormon doctor in the medical drama House to his current role as a mobster in the tech crime drama Start-Up.

There is no shortage of notable Hollywood roles that the actor has portrayed. But perhaps most recognized by many Kenyan fans is his role as the slick and mysterious Cabal enforcer Mr. Solomon - once touted as Raymond Reddington’s worst nightmare - in the crime thriller The Blacklist.
