Bio: Abgaje received his masters in Law from the University of London, but took a different career path when bitten by the acting bug. He is probably best known for his role as the cunning, fierce super-criminal Adebisi on “Oz” (1997). He went from playing Ernie Hudson’s good friend, the guide “Kahega” to Hudson’s “Capt.

After completing his part in the hit series Lost, Adebisie stated, “When a star character on a hit show chooses to leave there’s always speculation as to whether or not they’ve done this or that or not gotten along with this or that person. Straight up: it was probably one of the best relationships I’ve ever had in terms of developing a character, and I think the character will be a testament to that.” -on working on “Lost” (2004).
