Olatunde Olateju Olaolorun "O-T" Fagbenle Yoruba: Ọlátúndé Ọlátẹ́jú Ọláọlọ́run Fágbénlé; born 22 January 1981)[1][2] is an English actor, writer, and director. He has appeared in several films, stage, and television productions. He is best known for his role as Luke in The Handmaid’s Tale (2017–2022), for which he received an Emmy nomination,[3] and his portrayal of Barack Obama in The First Lady (2022).
(Early life
[edit]Born in London to a Yoruba Nigerian father, journalist[4][5] Tunde Fagbenle, and a British/English mother, Ally Bedford, Fagbenle was raised by his mother and lived in Nigeria, Spain, and the UK as a child. He started learning the alto saxophone and within a year joined the South Coast Jazz Band, which toured the Edinburgh Festival.[6] In the UK he performed as a musician in big bands at the Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall.[6]
His name "Olatunde" means literally "Honour returns" or "Honour is restored" in Yoruba. This may be in the abstract or literal sense. His last name, Fagbenle, or "Fágbénlé" in Yoruba, means "Ifa [the Yoruba oracle] makes me triumph," indicating that Fagbenle's paternal ancestors were worshippers of the Ifa religion.[7] His middle name, Olateju means, "honor is clear," [8] and his other middle name, "Olaolorun," means "the wealth/honor of God."
His younger brothers include actor and film producer Luti Fagbenle,[9] and video director and producer Daps. His sister is a WNBA player and Olympian Temi Fagbenle.[10][11][5]

Light on his feet, his every moment is poised and polished.'[26]
