Get Out Isn't the Only Place You've Seen Actor Lakeith Stanfield

If you're a scary-movie fan, chances are you're already (or soon to be) obsessed with Get Out. Directed by comedian Jordan Peele, it's not your average horror film. It's a terrifying, complex, and genre-bending debut for Peele and features stellar performances from all of its leads, including Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, and Bradley Whitford. One of the more minor but incredibly important characters falls on the shoulders of Lakeith Stanfield. The 25-year-old actor and rapper plays Andrew "Logan" King, a young black man (pictured above, left) who gets kidnapped within the film's first few minutes and pops up later at a party hosted by the parents of Rose (Williams), who brought her black boyfriend (Kaluuya) home for the first time. Stanfield's performance will not only leave you deeply unsettled but also probably wondering where you've seen him before.

Most recently, Stanfield appeared in the first season of Donald Glover's popular FX series Atlanta as stoned scene-stealer Darius. It seems like Stanfield has a habit of stealing scenes no matter what he's doing, though. In 2013, he made his feature-film debut in Short Term 12 (which earned him a nomination at the Independent Spirit Awards), and he later impressed everyone with his spot-on portrayal of Snoop Dogg in Straight Outta Compton and an inspiring role in Selma as Jimmie Lee Jackson. In December, he crashed the stage at the Critics' Choice Awards when Silicon Valley took home the best comedy series trophy instead of Atlanta, instantly launching him to award show infamy. You'll have to wait a few months before he stars in Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town (due out later this year), so if you're jonesing for more Stanfield in your life, you'll just have to go see Get Out again.
