Asante Blackk emerged as a double nominee at the Critics Choice Association’s TV Awards, with supporting actor noms in the drama series category for NBC’s This Is Us and in limited series/movie for Netflix’s When They See Us.

That would be an impressive feat for any actor, but for Blackk, it marks a remarkable two-for-two batting average. The young actor, who just turned 18, has two acting credits on his resume, his breakout role on When They See Us as The Central Park “Exonerated 5” member Kevin Richardson, followed by his Season 4 series regular as teen dad Malik on This Is Us.
