Abraham Attah is currently the toast of Ghana, and Hollywood in part; due to his meteoric rise from playing in the streets of Ghana to Hollywood actor.
Attah hit the jackpot after he was cast out of nowehere to in Beasts of No Nation to play the role of the child soldier Agu. The Netflix movie starred Idris Elba, and was based on a 2005 novel of the same name.

According to Bandex however, his son, Rahim Banda, would have been selected for the role except for one little issue- his fair coloured skin.
Speaking on Kasapa Fm, he revealed that his son was the only actor who auditioned twice for the role, at a time when Abraham was not even a part of the process. However, he got passed over because of his colour.
He said director Cary Fukunaga and the casting director needed a typical West African child for the role, rather than one with fair skin, who they believed would not be an exact representation of children on the continent.
Despite his son getting passed over for the role, Bandex added that the sequence of events just shows that God has blessed Attah. He also added his voice to calls that he should relocate to the US.
