Who's the actor playing the black dude?


Is the name of his character mentioned even once? I must have missed it.

I will now end this debate with you.

He's on Chicago Fire. The chief.

Yeah, thanks, got him. I realized that I looked at his profile before, but didn't recognize him, looks like he added some 20kg of muscle :)

He played Howlin' Wolf in Cadillac Records as well

The actor playing the role is Eamonn Walker. He's a British actor who I think is probably best known in the US for his portrayal of Kareem Saïd on HBO's "Oz". He’s a talented chap. I’m a big fan.

A link to his IMDB page is below.

He said that he was an engineer.
Not certain what type of engineer he was...but I work with contract engineers who make $70-90 an hour.

And there's work aplenty....

Found it very hard to believe that he would end up working for a contractor carrying hod and doing clean up.

Throughout the movie I kept wondering what else I'd seen him in and looking at his page, now I remember - he was the doctor in the opening scene of "Unbreakable"! Ha, it's funny but I've also seen "Lord of War" and he was in it but I barely remember anything about that movie.

Welcome to IMDB. All actors are listed under "Cast & Crew". His name is Eamonn Walker and he played "Danny" in this film.

Here's his profile: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0907708/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

He's a good actor. :)
