Ncuti Gatwa rose to international fame after starring in the hit Netflix series "Sex Education" as Eric Effiong. Since the show made waves globally, Gatwa's fanbase multiplied exponentially.

While he is grateful to have been blessed with such an opportunity, there are also disadvantages to being associated with his role. Among them is people's expectation for him to be much like his character.

"It's fine, and it's not fine," he said. "But what do I expect people to think? It's the only role the world has seen me in." Gatwa has had on-screen credits before "Sex Education," including a 2015 role in the Scottish drama "Stonemouth," after graduating from drama school in 2013. However, fans have forgotten about that pivotal role.
