It’s been two years since the devastating death of Chadwick Boseman. Fans of the famous star continue to mourn his death after he died on August 28 2020, following a private battle of four years with colon cancer. Even though his career and life ended a little soon the actor’s work will always be considered to be legendary. Not only the actor was great on screen but off the screen with his pure heart and good deeds, which will be remembered for years to come. 

Raised in Anderson, South Carolina, Boseman attended college at Howard University in Washington, D.C. before attending New York City's Digital Film Academy. The talented actor received assistance from famous mentors along the way, including The Cosby Show star Phylicia Rashad -- who was one of his teachers at Howard -- and Denzel Washington, who paid for Boseman and a few of his Howard classmates to attend the Oxford Mid-Summer Program of the British American Drama Academy in England, to which they had been accepted.

At the Toronto International Film Festival in September, when he took part in a virtual conversation with director Barry Levinson, Washington discussed Boseman and said that he cried after his first viewing of Black Panther. Boseman, in his memory, was a "kind man."

"A very, very gentle soul," he said. "A great talent, obviously."

The two ended up working together on Boseman's final film, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, which Boseman starred in and Washington produced.

After moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, Boseman wrote and directed a number of plays. He then scored television roles on All My Children, Law & Order, Cold Case, CSI: NY, and ER. Boseman was selective in the roles he chose to do, even at the beginning of his career. He admitted to being let go from his 2003 All My Children role as Reggie, a gang member adopted by Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and her husband Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey), in January's issue of The Wrap's Oscar magazine, when he voiced concerns about portraying racial stereotypes. It's interesting that the part was recast with Michael B. Jordan, his future Black Panther co-star and close buddy.

But 42, a 2013 film in which he played Jackie Robinson, gave him his big break. Robinson was merely one of many legendary real-life figures that Boseman later played. He portrayed singer James Brown in the 2014 film Get Up, and in the 2017 biographical picture Marshall, he played Thurgood Marshall, the first African American justice of the Supreme Court.

Of course, Boseman's role as T'Challa in the 2018 film Black Panther helped him to become best recognised. Boseman always had a clear idea of how he intended to play the character, including his accent, according to the film's director Ryan Coogler, who revealed as much in a poignant statement in September.

Boseman's amazing off-screen movements, which he never sought praise for, quickly came to light after the sad news of his passing. When they collaborated on the action-thriller 21 Bridges in 2019, Sienna Miller stated in September that he increased her pay using money from his own paycheck. When the company refused to pay Miller the money she requested to work on the high-profile film, Miller told Empire that Boseman stepped up.

Additionally, it became abundantly evident after his passing that Boseman placed a high value on aiding young people with cancer. His emotive recollection of a conversation he had with two boys with terminal cancer about how excited they were to watch Black Panther during a 2018 SiriusXM interview garnered increased attention.
