Obba Babatundé (born December 1, 1951) is an American actor of stage and screen, known for his Emmy-nominated performance in the television movie Miss Evers' Boys, a NAACP Image Award-nominated performance in the TV movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge, and a Tony Award-nominated role for his performance as C.C. White in the original cast of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls.
His brother Akin (pronounced "ah-keen") is also an actor and resides in Dallas, Texas.
In fall 2009, Babatundé (pronounced "bah-bah-tun-day") played Davis in the title role of Sammy: Once in a Lifetime, a world premiere musical at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego. Babatundé dances, sings, plays instruments, and does impersonations, including his portrayal of Davis, aided by their similarity in energy, size and talent, tap dancing and performing on multiple instruments.
In 1993, Babatunde played New Orleans police Lieutenant Theodore Sawyer in the comedy Undercover Blues with Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner as super-spies Jeff and Jane Blue. Also in the cast was Oleg Krupka (as Zubig), who later starred as the chief spy Mr. Beaupre in Home Alone III.
