Biography

[edit | edit source]

Modu was born to a mixed-race Igbo-German father and an Anglo-Irish mother in Chiswick, West London. He initially had an interest in sports, particularly boxing, and trained at the age of twelve. He would also visit the theatre and become cultured with the performances. In 2012, Modu attended the Richmond Drama School and has since begun his acting career.[3]

Modu made his debut as a minor background character in Me Before You before making a recurring appearance on the HBO series Game of Thrones as Aggo.[4] He joined the main cast of The Good Doctor as Dr. Jared Kalu, but did not return when the series was renewed for a second season. He did however, return for the show's 6th season in a recurring capacity, before regaining series regular status for the seventh and final season.[5] He also had a role in the 2019 Marvel Studios film Captain Marvel.[6] Modu is also the narrator of The Moment of Proof, a 2021 true-crime television documentary series telling the stories of police investigations.
