Hes been in the Fast and Furious, Quiet Place, and Kingsman.
His latest trip takes him to Rebel Moon,a two-part sci-fi epic from director Zack Snyder and Netflix.
The thing thats unique about Rebel Moon is the story.

The relevance of our reality, in a way, comes off the page.
I can speak for the geopolitical tentacles that have been holding the continent of Africa back for centuries.
That felt like it came off the page.
In terms of backstory Zack knew so much about that world, Hounsou said.
I mean, he knows it back and forth.
He knows where they come from and where theyre heading.
Which hed have to, because another thing that makes Snyder unique is just how busy he is.
He is that unique because hes is a great writer, to begin with, Hounsou said.
And hes, of course, the director and also the cinematographer and hes the cameraman as well.
So the spectrum of really bringing this life [together] its unbelievable to see.
I mean, the man is tireless.
I mean you cant be more diverse than this.
Another thing that makes Snyder unique is his fan base.
I think it does influence you a little bit, he said.
This is the man who iconically created a film called 300.
No matter where you go in the world, somebody has a DVD of that.
But I think if anything, it only enhanced and supported our contributions to creating Rebel Moon.
So theres a lot of hats hes wearing on a daily basis.
And I find it extremely commendable with the level of composure in which he comes on and off set.
But that Snyder and his world impressed an actor of his experience and talent says a lot.
Rebel Moon: Part One A Child of Fire is now streaming on Netflix.
