Devon Terrell.
NIDA graduate Devon Terrell will play a young Barack Obama in Barry, an independent feature to be directed by Vikram Gandhi, a former Vice correspondent who made the documentary Kumare.
The film will be set in 1981 in New York City, while Obama was attending Columbia University as a 20 year-old, reports THR.
Terrell was cast as the lead in Steve McQueen's HBO show Codes of Conduct, and despite the series being scrapped, that plum booking has no doubt opened many doors.
He'll star in Barry alongside another much-buzzed young actor, The Witch's Anya Taylor-Joy, with a shoot planned for late April.
The script was written by Adam Mansbach, best known as the author of adult children's book Go the F*** to Sleep.
Terrell is repped by CAA in the U.S. and IMC in Australia.
