Early Life
Chadwick Aaron Boseman was born on November 29th, 1976, in Anderson,
South Carolina. Raised in a Christian, working-class family, Boseman
developed a passion for the performing arts at a young age. He sang

Realizing that learning how to act was crucial to becoming a good

acting career and moving to Los Angeles in 2008.
