Biography
Corey Hawkins is a classically trained actor who has successfully navigated the worlds of Shakespearean theater, television procedurals, and major cinematic biopics. Raised by a mother who was a police officer, Hawkins often brings a grounded, disciplined intensity to his roles. He first captured global attention with his portrayal of Dr. Dre in Straight Outta Compton (2015). Since then, he has balanced leading roles in blockbusters like Kong: Skull Island and In the Heights with prestigious dramatic work. In late 2024, he starred as Avery Brown in the Netflix adaptation of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson, a performance that earned him significant supporting actor buzz during the 2025 awards season. In February 2026, Hawkins appears as Detective Tillman in Bart Layton’s heist thriller Crime 101, playing a key role alongside Mark Ruffalo in the hunt for Chris Hemsworth’s elusive jewel thief.
