Michael B. Jordan, middle of three children, was born in Santa Ana, California and raised in Newark, New Jersey by Donna (Davis), and Michael A. Jordan. His middle name Bakari means “noble promise” in Swahili.
Jordan has starred in three of the most critically acclaimed television dramas of the past decade.

He then went on to star as quarterback Vince Howard on Friday Night Lights (2006) (NBC), before playing a recovered alcoholic, Alex on NBC's Parenthood (2010).
