Nichole Beharie had to go through difficult times. Later, her interest in the human condition may help explain the variety and depth of the parts she has taken on up to this point.
She started with her critically acclaimed lead role as an unjustly imprisoned single mother in 2008’s American Violet.
Since then, she has acted in several films, including the 2018 drama Monsters and Men, partially inspired by Eric Garner’s death.
When Beharie was five years old, her parents divorced, and she and her mother went to South Carolina.
She gained experience in regional theatre after graduating from the famous Juilliard School in New York City, where she was accepted to study theater.
Hollywood soon beckoned, and in 2008 he co-starred with the late Chadwick Boseman in the sports drama The Express.
Boseman, who co-starred in the Jackie Robinson baseball film 42 with Beharie, cherishes her memories.
In the 2008 film American Violet, Beharie made her feature film debut.
She co-starred with actor Rob Brown as Sarah Ward in the American sports drama The Express: The Ernie Davis Story that same year.
Beharie played Shay Hunter in the Lifetime film Sins of the Mother (2010), a troubled college student who embarks on a quest to reconcile her strained connection with her mother, Nona, who Jill Scott represented.
