Nigél Thatch joins the Epix gangster drama "Godfather Of Harlem" starring Forest Whitaker and created by "Narcos", and will play the famous American black civil rights leader Malcolm X. Thatch has previously played him in "Selma" and received rave reviews. "The Godfather of Harlem" is based on a real person: Bumpy Johnson (played by Whitaker), a famous gangster boss in New York at that time, comes from "Narcos" creators Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein, focusing on Bumpy's twilight years: In the 1960s, Bumpy was released from prison after ten years in prison and found that the Harlem neighborhood he once controlled was struggling, and the Italian Mafia Genovese family had taken over his territory. Bumpy intends to seize power, and in the process, he allies with the radical missionary Malcolm X. The city is facing a fierce struggle for human rights and a fierce gang war. Vincent D'Onofrio (Daredevil), Ilfenesh Hadera (Billions), and newcomer Antoinette Crowe-Legacy also starred. Malcolm X joined the gang in his early years. He repented in prison and converted to Islam. After being released from prison, he became a black human rights leader. He was eloquent and decisive. Unlike Martin Luther King, Malcolm X advocated violent revolution. Later, his attitude changed, he broke with the Nation of Islam and became relatively moderate, but he always firmly advocated "taking any measures to pursue progress." In 1965, he was assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam during a speech.
