Award winning Ghanaian actor Abraham Attah, who rose to fame after his ”Beast of No Nation” feature with Netflix Films and other credits including Sony’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming“, has officially been confirmed to star as the lead in “Tasmanian Devil” – a Nigerian immigrant drama.
The young actor will play the lead role in the movie with supporting actors like Adepero Oduye, Ntare Guma, Mbaho Mwine, Kwesi Boakye among others. The film is a debut from (writer/director) Solomon Onita Jnr.

The Tricia Woodgett of Tiger Eye Films produced project, will have Benny Boom and Gerald Rawles serve as executive producers.
