Stelio Savante, the accomplished actor, producer, and filmmaker based in New York, has been making waves in the entertainment world with his latest projects. From his role in the noir thriller “What Remains” on Starz to his portrayal of Moses in Netflix’s biblical hit “The Chosen,” Savante is captivating audiences with his multifaceted performances. He is also set to appear as a guest on the upcoming animated series “Captain Fall,” which is premiering on July 28th.
South African Roots and Milestones
Savante’s remarkable success in the industry is closely tied to his South African roots. Like many others, he was affected by the controversial 1995 law that stripped South Africans of their citizenship, despite having immigrated to the United States before its enactment. However, the recent South African Supreme Court ruling that declared the law unconstitutional was welcomed by Savante and many others. This ruling ensures that South Africans will no longer lose their citizenship when obtaining citizenship from other countries.

With a career spanning over three decades, Savante has firmly established his reputation in the industry. He has received critical acclaim from esteemed film critics such as Richard Propes and Jackie K. Cooper. His impressive tally of 135 international credits includes appearances in numerous independent and studio films that have collectively garnered nearly $400 million at the global box office.
Notable Projects and Awards
Savante’s acting prowess has been recognized at various film markets and festivals, including Berlin, Cannes, and Tribeca. His roles in Jennifer Esposito’s directorial debut “Fresh Kills” and the human trafficking thriller “Pursuit of Freedom” earned attention and accolades. “Pursuit of Freedom” won the “Best Film” award at the Anatolia International Film Festival and the Switzerland International Film Festival, and also received a nomination for a human rights award by the Political Film Society of America.
Other Achievements
In addition to his impressive acting career, Savante has also lent his voice to the Call of Duty video game franchise and starred in the SAFTA-winning film “A Million Colours.”
