  • After years of working on TV, Boseman found his big break with 42, a movie based on the life of American baseball player Jackie Robinson. The movie released in 2013 and also starred Harrison Ford.

    With his honest portrayal of Robinson's battle with racism, Boseman earned acclaim.

    In a somber coincidence, he died on the same day when Major League Baseball celebrated Jackie Robinson Day.
