Have you ever wondered ow rich David Oyelowo is, as of mid- 2016?

Apart from his work as an actor, he has also produced several films, including “Five Nights In Maine” (2015), and “Nina” (2016) which have also increased his net worth.

David is of Nigerian ancestry, both parents of Yoruba ethnicity. He was a student of the City and Islington College, where he was influenced by his teacher to venture into acting. After graduation he enrolled in an art foundation course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. After three years his education was finished, and his career was ready for start.

Before appearing on screens, David worked hard in theaters, appearing on stage in several productions including “Volpone”, “Antony and Cleopatra” and “This England: The Histories”. To speak further of his stage credits, David was also a part of the “Prometheus Bound” in 2005, and in 2006 he directed “The White Devil”. His net worth was well set.

He made his first appearance in front of the camera in brief roles in such productions as “Maisie Raine” (1998), “Brothers And Sisters” (1998), and in 2001 he had a supporting role in the film “Dog Eat Dog”.

The role launched him further into the acting world, as in 2005 he had several successful projects, including “Derailed” starring Jennifer Aniston and Vincent Cassel, “The Best Man”, and “A Sound Of Thunder” with Ben Kingsley and Edward Burns in lead roles.

In 2013 he was a part of the Lee Daniels` “The Butler”, and 2014 year was his best so far, as he portrayed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Ava DuVernay`s “Selma”, and was also the lead in Elliott Lester`s “Nightingale”, playing Peter Snowden. Furthermore, he found his way into the cast of Christopher Nolan`s “Interstellar”, alongside Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, as School`s Principal.

To speak further of his film credits, David has starred in films “Five Nights In Maine” (2015), “Captive” (2015), and “Queen Of Katwe” (2016), all of which added a substantial amount to his net worth. Most recently, David has been selected to appear in the film “God Particle”, which will be released in the early 2017.Thanks to his skills, David has received several prestigious nominations and awards, including the two Golden Globe Award nominations; first one in category Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his work on film “Nightingale” (2014), and second one in category Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his work on film “Selma”.He also won two Black Reel awards for the same films; Outstanding Actor in TV Movie or Limited Series for “Nightingale”, and Outstanding Actor, Motion Picture in Motion Picture for “Selma”, among many other awards.

David Oyelowo Quotes

  • [defending Benedict Cumberbatch after he caused outrage for using the term “colored actors” instead of “actors of color”] When you look at what he was actually saying, it’s clear that he’s a huge supporter of black performers. To attack him for a term, as opposed to what he was actually saying, I think is very disingenuous and is indicative of the age we live in where people are looking for soundbites as opposed to substance.
  • I think it’s vital to have something outside your acting to keep you rooted in the real world, and help you fill the vacuum. If you have nothing else, it can be unhealthy. For me being a Christian has been invaluable: it simply means acting isn’t the centre of my life.
  • It’s fascinating to work with a company of actors of such different ages, experience and talents. I’m one of a generation brought up on television whose acting is more ‘naturalistic’, whereas with some of the older generation it’s more heightened. But I think there’s room for both styles.
