This is Nonso Anozie, he is a British actor of Igbo-Nigeria descent. He was born on 28 May, 1979, in London, England, UK. His full name is Chukwunonso Nwachukwu Anozie.


Nonso Anozie had always wanted to be an actor since he was 8 years old, this was due to the influence of a Ghanaian, Lord Eric Sugumugu who came and read African stories to him and other kids when they were in primary school.

Nonso has worked on stage, film, and television. He is best known for his role as Tank in RocknRolla, Sergeant Dap in Ender's Game, Abraham Kenyatta in The Zoo, Captain of the Guards in Cinderella and Xaro Xhoan Daxos in the HBO television series Game of Thrones.

He has a height of 6ft 6inches (198 cm) which is very proportional to his giant body weight of 127 kg (280 pounds), massive size. Since not many actors in both the US and the UK have his size, he can easily get the roles when a man of his size is needed.
