Meet Sisanda Henna, not just an award-winning actor, but a force to be reckoned with in the world of entertainment. His portfolio is a masterpiece, a collection of diverse and commanding leading roles that have left audiences in awe.

In the thrilling M-Net Cinemax ZDF series “Trackers,” Henna soared to new heights, making it the number 1 show on the popular African channel.

 Picture him alongside a global cast, including Megan Fox, in the action-packed “Rogue.” And let’s not forget “Inconceivable,” an M-Net original that showcases Henna’s prowess. But that’s not all – he wears multiple hats, directing and starring in the Showmax original film, “One Night Kwa Mxolisi.” And if you’re a Netflix enthusiast, you’ve probably caught him in the gripping 13-part series “Agent,” now captivating audiences in 190 countries.

In the SAFTA-winning “Griekwastad,” a murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Henna delivers a gut-wrenching performance as the accused farmworker opposite Arnold Vosloo (yes, the one from “The Mummy” and “Jack Ryan”).

Early in his journey, Henna shared the screen with none other than the legendary John Kani and, more recently, collaborated with UK actress Karima Adebibe in “Deep State II” and Megan Fox in “Transformers.” Talk about an impressive lineup!

Hailing from the picturesque Bisho in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, Henna’s acting journey began with a bang as he won hearts and awards for his role in the local drama series “Tsha Tsha.” Proud of his Xhosa heritage, he keeps the cultural fire alive while embracing a modern, worldly, and progressive outlook.

But Henna isn’t just about the spotlight; he’s as passionate about sports and a vibrant, healthy lifestyle as he is about acting. In “Agent,” he flexes his muscles as a highly athletic football star, and in “Rogue,” he transforms into a mercenary with a physique that’s nothing short of colossal. These roles demanded intense training, sculpting a body that’s superhero-worthy – a testament to Henna’s dedication to his craft and maintaining peak fitness.

Sisanda Henna isn’t just an actor; he’s a living, breathing spectacle, and each project is a chapter in his extraordinary narrative.
