Which actor portrayed Jackie Robinson in the 2013 film '42'?

Chadwick Boseman portrayed Jackie Robinson in the 2013 film 42.

Directed and written by Brian Helgeland, 42 dramatizes Robinson’s signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers and his historic 1947 rookie season. Boseman plays Robinson opposite Harrison Ford, who portrays Dodgers executive Branch Rickey, the architect of the organization’s effort to break Major League Baseball’s color barrier.

The film’s title refers to Robinson’s uniform number. The Dodgers retired No. 42 throughout their organization in 1972, and Major League Baseball retired it league-wide in 1997. Today, every MLB team honors Robinson on Jackie Robinson Day, when players and staff wear No. 42.

42 was Boseman’s breakthrough film role and helped establish him as a leading actor. He later portrayed major figures including James Brown in Get on Up and T’Challa in Marvel’s Black Panther. Boseman’s performance brought Robinson’s athletic skill, restraint and resilience to a new generation of viewers.
