If you’ve seen a great show or movie lately, there’s a good chance Colman Domingo was part of it. The actor, writer and director has been popping up on screen for over two decades, and his career keeps getting more interesting. This guide gives you a quick look at his biggest roles, what he’s doing now and how you can follow his work.
Colman started out on stage, earning a Tony nomination for his role in the musical Rocky. That theatre background gave him a strong foundation for the screen. In 2013 he broke into mainstream TV with a memorable turn as Van in the hit series Fear the Walking Dead. Fans loved his gritty performance, and it opened doors to bigger projects.
One of his most talked‑about parts is the charismatic villain “Papa” in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The film’s massive audience introduced him to a whole new fan base. Around the same time he appeared in The Big Short, a film that showed his knack for both drama and comedy.
Colman's TV work is just as impressive. He played the tough‑loving preacher in Oxford Shakespeare and stole scenes as Detective Michael in the crime drama Atlanta. His ability to shift from serious to funny makes him a favorite with casting directors.
Right now Colman is busy filming a new limited series for a streaming platform. The show is a thriller set in a coastal town, and he’s been cast as the town’s sheriff. Early buzz says his performance will be “intense” and “unpredictable,” which fits his style perfectly.
Besides acting, he’s also writing a screenplay about a 1970s jazz club. The project is still in development, but it promises a blend of music, drama and a dash of humor – a mix Colman loves.
If you want to keep up with his latest moves, follow him on social media. He often shares behind‑the‑scenes photos, upcoming project announcements and his thoughts on the industry. Signing up for newsletters from film blogs also helps you catch exclusive interviews.
