Djimon Hounsou to be cast as Joseph Asagi

      Djimon Housou was born and raised in Africa and became a Hollywood actor. He has played roles in "Blood Diamond", "Amistad" and "The Gladiator". In all of these particular roles, he has played a character who was sincere, loyal, honest and clearly a good hearted person. Because of his heavy African accent, I suspect he has been cast in the roles which were in need of his accent. Joseph Asagi boasts that he is from Africa and wants to go back to his country to help the people left behind.
       Djimou is an excellent actoe and paired with his intelligence, he could easily play the part of Joseph Asagi. When Asagi speaks, he speaks with great thought and care and we are drawn to him and his ability to express such love and genuine care for people. One such example is when Joseph Asagi calls Beneatha, "Alaiyo" and explains, "One for who bread-food is not enough. Is that Alright?" Asagi is gentle and concerned his words come across as the care he intended. Djimon reminds of of Joseph Asagi and is talented enough to play any role.
