Young Hollywood actor John Boyega has revealed that it was a conscious effort on his part to take projects outside of his Star Wars recurring role to prove his acting versatility and range.
Even with his Star Wars gig still far from over, Boyega has already lined up his next career move, boarding the sci-fi monster picture, Pacific Rim: Uprising – a sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 project, Pacific Rim.
He also returned to his theater roots earlier this year by performing the titular role for Woyzeck at Old Vic Theater in London.
If anything, Boyega’s approach to show business reflects his overall mindset when it comes to taking his craft seriously.
