The character is suppose to be dark in complexion and David beats them there. All three gentlemen are more than qualified to play this role. This character also had an afro that he parts to the side. Can't wait to see how Chiwetel breathes life into this character.

Take a look at David

With shapely, I'm thinking Mercy Johnson. But factor in the oval face, large eyes, fair skin, long hair na for weave and I'm going for Omotola, Nse Ekpe or Chelsea Eze or even Megalyn Echikunwoke

Nice ones. I see Nse as a stronger candidate for this character.

Kainene - thin, very tall, belgian chocolate skin color, enigmatic figure who refuses to belong to someone, not just like a son, she’s like two, and a smoker. I do believe that the character's head was shaved.

suggestions please

i'm thinking Nse. or Mercy Johnson if she looses the weight.
these two ladies are fire and can pull off most roles.
