The talented actor who is married to Elorm Anag has featured in many films and has won himself several accolades for his roles in some of them. This goes to show that he has spent quite a good number of years in the entertainment industry. Despite this, Pusher looks 30-something. In fact, it will shock you to know he was born on 8 July 1974.
