Mike Colter is best known as the star of Marvel’s The Defenders. Although those shows – alongside Luke Cage – have since come to an end, Colter was nominated for a handful of accolades including nods from the NAA Image Awards and the Black Reel Awards.
Colter’s tenure as an MCU superhero is just one recent part of his long career, however. His first TV roles were playing bit parts in shows including medical drama Law & Order: SVU.
His big TV break came with a recurring role as drug kingpin Lemond Bishop on legal drama Agent X.
As for film roles, Colter played Will Smith’s dad in Black And Blue.
Since Luke Cage came to an end in 2018, Mike Colter’s career hasn’t slowed down any. He’s currently starring as journalist turned priest-in-training David Acosta on the CBS supernatural drama Evil which was recently renewed for a second season and voiced DEA agent Brister on the Netflix anime Seis Manos. In the not-too-distant future, Colter will star in thriller movie Fatale and plays the title role in Patrick Gilles’ biographical drama I’m Charlie Walker.
