His family moved to Manhattan, New York, when he was six.

I thought he was just black before I knew anything about him. He does look kind of mixed, not half though (maybe 1/4 white)
you don’t know what a “just black” person looks like then. Looj up Djmon Honsou. He’s a full black guy.
@multiethnic Your comments are ignorant and racist. Go travel to Africa, google pics and read a book. People do not have to be dark skinned with large lips and wide noses to qualify as blacks. Blacks come in ALL different skin tones, hair textures and facial features.
@Xoxo Many Italians have black West African, North African and Arab dna which is negroid. So he is likely majority black anyway.
Likely not since he’s half African AMERICAN. People with low iq should be ip banned instantly.
Be careful what you wish for.
clearly mixed
Not really clearly. I thought he was just African-American until I read on here his father was full Caucasian. Typically biracials are lighter skibned with finer hair than what he has.
His mother, Elizabeth Foster, was an opera and nightclub singer. While performing in a tour of “Porgy and Bess” in Naples, Italy, she met Giancarlo’s father, a stage carpenter.
Seemed him in so may spike lee films. Hated his character in Malcolm X. Guess because his character killed Malcolm…
He plays my favorite character on the t.v. show (Revolution)
