Delroy
Lindo
On
the stage and on the big screen, Delroy Lindo projects a
powerful presence that is almost impossible to ignore.
Alhough it was not his first film role, his portrayal of
the bipolar numbers boss West Indian Archie in Spike
Lee's Malcolm X (1992) is what first attracted attention
to Lindo's considerable talents. Since then, his star
has slowly been on the rise.
The son of Jamaican parents (his mother was a nurse; his
father held various jobs), Lindo was inspired to act
after seeing the production of William Shakespeare's
"The Taming of The Shrew" on PBS television.
Lindo was born and raised in Lewisham, England, United
Kingdom, until his teens when he and his mother moved to
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A little later, they moved to
the United States, where Lindo would graduate from the
American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. After
graduation, Lindo landed his first film role, that of an
Army sergeant in More American Graffiti (1979).
