Before starring in 'Black Panther' and 'Us', Winston Duke worked as a holiday gift wrapper via CNBCMakeIt
"Black Panther" and"Us" star Winston Duke may seem like an overnight success, but the 32-year-old says that his path to Hollywood stardom wasn't always so obvious.
"'What am I doing?'" he says he would ask himself on many occasions."If I committed this much attention and intention to anything else, I'm pretty sure I'd be successful at it." Since"Black Panther," Duke has landed several other acting jobs, including a second appearance as M'Baku in"Avengers: Infinity War," and a third appearance in this April's"Avengers: Endgame." His fourth appearance as M'Baku will likely come in the"Black Panther" sequel that Ryan Coogler has signed on to direct and write.
"I'm not afraid to go up to people and just say, 'Hi, I'm new, and I'm a big fan,'" Duke says."You can only be 'new' once, so I took full advantage of that."
