Mahershala Ali has graced our screens for years, appearing in everything from House of Cards to The Hunger Games. But with recent star-making turns both on the silver screen (Moonlight, Hidden Figures) and on television (Marvel’s Luke Cage), the 43-year-old Ali suddenly feels like he’s everywhere—and with a supporting actor Oscar nomination and a SAG award for Moonlight under his belt this award season, he’s being recognized for his craft too. A recent spate of late-night appearances and interviews suggest that the actor should also be garnering accolades for his downright charming disposition and ace sense of humor.
