Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (born Mahershalalhashbaz Gilmore; February 16, 1974), commonly known as Mahershala Ali, is an American actor. Ali began his career as a regular on series such as ''Crossing Jordan'' (2001-2002) and ''Threat Matrix'' (2003-2004) before his breakthrough role as Richard Tyler in the science-fiction series ''The 4400''. His first major film release was in the 2008 David Fincher-directed romantic fantasy drama film ''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button''. His other notable films include ''Predators'' (2010) and ''The Place Beyond the Pines'' (2012). Ali is mostly known for his current roles as Remy Danton in ''House of Cards'' and Boggs in ''The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1'' (2014) and its sequel, ''The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2'' (2015). ==Early life== Ali was born in Oakland, California. He is named after Maher-shalal-hash-baz. Raised Christian by his mother, he later converted to Islam in 2000, changing his surname from Gilmore to Ali, and joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. He attended St. Mary's College of California in Moraga, where he graduated in 1996 with a degree in mass communication. Though Ali entered SMC with a basketball scholarship, he became disenchanted with the idea of a sports career due to the treatment given to the team's athletes. Ali developed an interest in acting, particularly after taking part in a staging of ''Spunk'' that later landed him an apprenticeship at the California Shakespeare Theater following graduation. Following a sabbatic year where Ali worked for ''Gavin Report'', he got into the New York University's graduate acting program, earning his Master's degree in 2000.〔http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/mahershala-ali-96〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahershala Ali」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
