You'd be forgiven for thinking Chadwick Boseman is somebody who's been in the Hollywood spotlight for some time. Whilst he has been in a number of different projects on television and in film, his biggest role came this year with the release of 'Black Panther', in which he portrays the titular hero; a man also known as T'Challa.
