She is the British screenwriter and actress among the most talented in recent years, he has an established career in music and entertainment. Let's get to know the two actors better
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is the famous 2005 movie starring actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as John and Jane Smith, two ruthless professional killers, employees of two different companies who are ordered to kill each other.
The movie, which was an incredible success, will now become a TV series. In fact, Amazon Studios is working on a serialized show inspired by the film. In place of Brad and Angelina, however, we will find two familiar faces for those who love the series, Donald Grover and Phoebe Waller Bridge, who also plays the role of co-writer with Francesca Sloane. The latter will also be the showrunner of the series. Production will be by New Regency, the same company that also handled the film, which grossed about $487 million worldwide and marked the beginning of Pitt and Jolie's love affair. Donald Grover and Phoebe Waller Bridge are therefore called to a big test: many are betting on them, given the experience and awards received. Let's get to know them better.

But his career is not limited to show business, he is also a rap music star, where he uses the pseudonym Childish Gambino. His most famous song is "This is America" released in 2018 and present at the top of the American charts for several weeks.
