The “Ladybrille Man of the Month” is a monthly feature which celebrates outstanding men, locally and internationally, for their brilliant contributions to their communities at large.
“Edi was a natural fit for us for our April 2011 Film Edition,” said Uduak Oduok Editor-in-Chief and Founder of Ladybrille Magazine. “Beyond the charisma and attention he commands when he walks into a room, he is an actor driven to achieve excellence and to improve on his craft daily; which is why we have also dubbed him a fierce actor. We are delighted to celebrate him and all of his accomplishments this whole month of April.”
Gathegi,of Kenyan heritage, was born in Kenya but raised in California, USA. He began acting a little over four years ago, but has managed to land highly coveted roles in major motion pictures including in the film Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon (the sequel).
