Bucci Franklin’s Rise: From Abuja Broadcaster to Netflix Star ‘Oboz’

Bucci Franklin delivers a career-defining performance as Oboz in Kemi Adetiba’s Netflix crime thriller To Kill a Monkey. Reviewers praised his magnetic presence and depth across eight compelling episodes. His journey began in Abuja’s radio and TV studios and flourished on the University of Abuja stage. Years of supporting roles, a win at the AMAA awards, a Tribeca premiere and a U.S. acting competition honed his craft. When the series launched globally in July 2025, fans from Nigeria to the United States recognized the actor’s talent. Bucci Franklin’s path from local productions to international acclaim shows why Nollywood insiders have long celebrated him.
