From Mon 21 Feb, Peacock on Sky

We've seen him as a dedicated cop in The Tower, an asylum-seeking doctor alongside Brenda Blethyn in Kate & Koji, and villain Baron Reiter in superhero drama Arrow.

Now, British actor Jimmy Akingbola is on our screens in US drama Bel-Air, the gritty reboot of 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, with episode four available on Peacock on Sky this week.

The 43-year-old stars as Geoffrey Thompson, the English ‘house manager' for the wealthy Banks family, who take troubled nephew Will (Jabari Banks) under their wing in a mansion in LA when he has to leave Philadelphia.
