NPR Talks With Serenity’s Chiwetel Ejiofor

Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor plays a martial arts instructor in the new David Mamet film, “Redbelt.” In the film, Ejiofor is a principled teacher who instructs his students not to fight for money or fame, but violates his own credo in order to pay off his debts.

Before starring in movies, Ejiofor was a prominent stage actor in England. Since then, he has been in such films as “Serenity,” “Dirty Pretty Things”, “Children of Men” and “American Gangster.” Ejiofor was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2007 for his performance in “Kinky Boots.”
