Sam Adegoke, a Nigerian actor, made a name for himself in the United States back in 2017 when he landed a role in the modern version of the famous 80s TV show “Dynasty” on The CW. He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, and always had a dream of becoming an actor. However, he realized that to turn his dream into reality, he needed to move to the United States. With this goal in mind, Adegoke made the move to sunny Los Angeles in the early 2010s and immediately began pursuing his acting career.

His journey started with a couple of short films in 2014, namely “I’m Good” and “Find Your Instrument,” which gave him his first taste of acting in front of a camera. The following year, Adegoke achieved a significant breakthrough when he won the 2015 ABC Discovers Digital Talent Competition, beating out 7,000 other applicants. This award came with a one-year, $25,000 talent deal with ABC, which also earned him a guest appearance on the series “Wicked City” in 2015.

Adegoke’s screen acting career continued to ascend from there. In 2016, he secured a recurring role on “Murder in the First” and, in the following year, appeared in six episodes of the popular series “Switched at Birth.” In just two short years, Adegoke transformed from being relatively unknown to a working actor in Hollywood. However, this was only the beginning of his success.

In 2017, it was announced that Adegoke had been cast in The CW’s reboot of “Dynasty.” This series, based on the well-loved 80s primetime soap opera, premiered on the network in October 2017.
