Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino has yet to find anything he's bad at, whether it's on the big screen, small screen, or blaring from a studio booth.
From his days in a comedy troupe at NYU, to his time in the writer's room for '30 Rock,' to his portrayal of Troy Barnes on Dan Harmon's 'Community,' Donald Glover has been killing it for years. Donald caught the attention of Tina Fey early on and his career where he was hired as a writer for the NBC sitcom '30 Rock.' He later starred in NBC's 'Community' as Troy Barnes. His success in t.v. led him to create the FX hit 'Atlanta' which he stars in and occasionally directs.
Donald Glover's acting work is just as prominent as his contribution to the music industry. His albums 'Camp,' 'Because the Internet,'
'Awaken, My Love!' and EP 'Summer Pack' put him on the map as a rapper, songwriter, and singer. He stunned the world when he won 'Best Record of the Year' and Song of the Year' Grammys for 'This Is America' — a historic feat for the rap and hip hop community. The music video and song highlights gun violence and police brutality in America.
His work has earned him Emmy Awards, Golden Globes Awards, and most currently multiple Grammys.
Even though Childish Gambino might be bowing out soon, Donald Glover will still be dominating big and small screens for years to come with 'Atlanta,' 'Star Wars,' and other projects.
