Ozie Nzeribe, currently co-starring in the new Apple TV+ drama Swagger joined me in The Locher Room. Ozie is an actor, rapper and model, whose creativity, talent and humanitarianism belie his young age. With his good looks, charm, acting chops, and dramatic story line, he is certain to be the breakout star of the series.

A Youth Ambassador for the Grammy’s, Ozie has become an internationally renowned recording artist, has modeled for Louis Vuitton, and is an extremely talented young actor. In addition to his current role in Swagger, he is also known for his recurring role as Todd in Shameless and previously guest starred in Jamie Fox’s series Dad Stop Embarrassing Me.

In Swagger, the series inspired by Kevin Durant’s youth basketball experiences, Ozie demonstrates his natural acting abilities capturing the anguish of a young basketball player whose dyslexia impairs him from keeping up with the rest of the team. In his own life, Ozie conquered his own Dyslexia to become an A student defying many of his teachers’ expectations and is currently working towards completing his college degree.

Ozie will be here to discuss his feelings about conquering his own learning disability and then playing a teen with the same issue on Swagger as well as his mission to give back by regularly traveling to Africa to help end racism and poverty working with local communities.

Please tune-in to meet this inspiring young artist. Swagger is streaming now on
on Apple+.
