Williams. In 2013 Nadu again found himself with Howard and Williams along with horror staples Bill Moseley and Lisa Wilcox acting and producing on the thriller “The Church” and its sequel “The Church; Second Offering.” In 2013 he also appears briefly alongside Harrison Ford and Liam Hemsworth in the film “Paranoia.”

In the Spring of 2012, Nadu appeared in his second national commercial (“Dance, Dance 2,” 2010) for ESPN’s “Streak for the Stache.” Along with film and commercials, Nadu is transitioning into television working on several episodes of MTV’s “Guy Code” and “Girl Code” and even appears alongside Corey Parker Robinson (The Wire) in 50Cent/ Trey Songz’ 2014 music video “Smoke.”

Nadu has also starred in several theater productions including Derrell Lawerence’s “Do You Trust Your Best Friend” alongside Sean Blakemore, Monifah, Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins (TLC) Chris Williams and Stockholm Fringe Festival invitee “As Wicked As Dangerous.” Nadu is a native of Philadelphia. He’s the oldest of nine children and was an on-air talent as a member of CBS3/The CWPhilly’s “The Crew.”
