Eamonn Walker

Eamonn Walker, born 1962 in London, England came to the attention of American TV viewers playing Kareem Said, the moral and all-too-human heart of a state prison in the critically-acclaimed HBO series Oz. Walker has had a varied American acting career ranging from guest-starring roles on ER to heading up the short-lived Justice TV series. In Cadillac Records, Walker steals the show from the likes of Academy-Award-winning actor Adrien Brody and Grammy-award-winning singer Beyonce in his searing and downright frightening turn as blues legend Howlin' Wolf. Walker tackles...and owns... the Wolf classic "Smokestack Lightnin'" . Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
