Donald Glover

Actor, Musician, Writer, Producer

For being a culture factory

Donald Glover has been producing pop culture hits since Tina Fey handpicked him to join the writing team for 30 Rock in 2016. As an actor, Glover is versatile; his most memorable performances were as a NASA astrophysicist in The Martian and a stripper in Magic Mike XXL. He created and stars in the FX hit show Atlanta, for which he also serves as cowriter and executive producer. When he’s not slipping into a new role on screen, he’s dropping musical hits as Childish Gambino. His third official album, Awaken, My Love!, was released September 2016 and was followed by a sold-out three-day event in Joshua Tree, California. Read our June 2017 cover story about Donald Glover.
