Boma Martins Akpore is a Nigerian-American actor, model, and creative multi-talent, renowned for his striking presence in both Hollywood and Nollywood. Born and raised in Yaba, Lagos, he was brought up by his single mother and grandmother and faced significant financial challenges, even dropping out of the University of Lagos in his final year due to the inability to pay school fees. Determined, he saved enough to enrol in the New York Film Academy, earning a diploma in acting for film and television.

Starting his career as a model, Boma represented Nigeria in the Mr. Imperial Universe contest (2016), securing the Best Body award and becoming second runner-up overall. He has modelled for notable brands such as Ralph Lauren, Valentino, Hermès, Christian Dior, MTN, and more.

After a career-ending football injury that derailed his semi-professional aspirations in Europe, Boma turned to the arts, finding his path in acting. His screen debut came in the 2018 film Orunsewa, and he went on to appear in NBC’s crime-drama The Blacklist, Netflix’s See You Yesterday (as a stunt performer), Brooklyn Coven, the film Brotherhood (2022) in which he played Sanusi, and the 2025 Amazon Prime action-thriller Suky, where he portrayed Igimu.

He also founded Bonzy Blues Global Partners LLC, a film production company initiated during the COVID-19 lockdown to develop short films for festival submission.

Boma is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and brings a powerful mix of screen presence, physical fitness, and versatility, working as an actor, mixologist, masseuse, model, and producer.
