Actor Boris Kodjoe is best known for his role in film ‘Brown Sugar’ (2002) as Kelby.Kodjoe is Austrian born and was brought up in Breisgau. He is partly German through mother’s descent and half Ghanian from father’s ancestry. He learned English accent later and nailed every role. He considers there is no bias in the United States in racial terms. Kodjoe said, “I was born to a white mother from Germany and a Black father from Ghana. And I represent both cultures. But at the end of the day, when I walk the earth, I walk the earth as a black man. That’s what I’m being perceived as that’s what I look like and that’s what I feel like.”
