Boris Kodjoe is a remarkable model and actor, who has succeeded in creating a close to 2 decade-long career while remaining at the top of his game. As a child, Boris was an incredible tennis player as his skills earned him a scholarship at the Virginia Commonwealth University where he majored in management.
