Regina King Biography

Oscar-winning actress Regina King has a decades-spanning career in Hollywood. In addition to the Academy Award, King won a Golden Globe, an Independent Spirit Award and the prestigious National Board of Review award for her supporting role as Sharon Rivers in Barry Jenkins’ adaptation of James Baldwin’s "If Beale Street Could Talk." King has also won three Emmy Awards in recent years: one for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her work in the Netflix racial crime drama "Seven Seconds," and two in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category for her role in the ABC anthology series "American Crime," which garnered her first Golden Globe Award nomination. Over the past few years, King has also stepped behind the camera directing episodes of critically acclaimed television series such as NBC’s award-winning "This Is Us," ABC’s "Scandal," TNT’s "Animal Kingdom," ABC’s "The Good Doctor," and HBO's "Insecure," among others.

King starred as the lead role in HBO’s critically hailed Peabody Award-winning "Watchmen" series from creator Damon Lindelof based on and inspired by the DC comic book, once again earning her an Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Emmy Nomination. This is the second time King has teamed up with Lindelof – they last collaborated on HBO’s "The Leftovers," for which King won a Critics’ Choice award during the series’ second season. Next up, she is part of an all-star cast in Netflix’s upcoming western film "The Harder They Fall" with Idris Elba slated for release late in 2025.

Additionally, King portrays America’s first Black Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in the feature "Shirley," once again teaming up with writer/director John Ridley.

On the directing front, Amazon Studios acquired and released her directorial feature film debut, "One Night in Miami," to rave reviews. With this, King made history becoming the first black female director to debut a film at the 77th Annual Venice International Film Festival. "One Night in Miami" earned a slew of award nominations including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Director – Feature Film, a SAG Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, Critics Choice nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Acting Ensemble as well as a First Time Feature Film nomination for the 73rd Academy Awards among others.

King is known for many memorable feature film roles, such as her turn as Cuba Gooding Jr.’s wife Marci in the blockbuster film "Jerry Maguire," as well as Vanessa in "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" with Angela Bassett; the hit action thriller "Enemy of the State" opposite Will Smith; the family adventure "Mighty Joe Young" with Charlize Theron; "Boys 'N the Hood," written and directed by the late John Singleton; "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" alongside Sandra Bullock; "Cinderella Story" opposite Hilary Duff; "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde" with Reese Witherspoon; "Daddy Day Care" opposite Eddie Murphy; and for her portrayal of Margie Hendricks in the Oscar-nominated "Ray" opposite Jamie Foxx. Additionally, she is known for her voice work on the popular animated series, "The Boondocks."
