Career


Maza was accepted to the Central School of Speech and Drama, but at that time, he was already working as an actor so decided not to attend.[1] Although primarily an actor, Maza began work as a film producer in 2011, setting up Think Big Productions,.[2] Since then he has produced 14 films. Titles include: 10x10 starring Luke Evans, and Brotherhood for Lionsgate which grossed just shy of £4,000,000 at the UK Box Office. Maza cites Ray Winstone as one of his favorite actors and biggest inspirations, "If you look what he has achieved, he started off as a working class British film actor to a big star in Hollywood. We’re from similar backgrounds as well as the same area so I suppose I can relate to him. If I have half the career he has I’ll be very happy".[3]

In 2017, Maza teamed up with Noel Clarke, launching Unstoppable Film and Television as co-CEO, after working with him on the Universal Pictures Brit-comedy The Knot. In 2018, Unstoppable joined the All3Media Group, forming Unstoppable Film & Television. As part of Unstoppable, in 2020, Maza produced and starred in a loose adaptation of Oliver Twist, entitled Twist alongside Michael Caine, Rita Ora, Lena Headey and Rafferty Law.[4][5]


Controversy


On 29 April 2021, The Guardian published an article containing allegations of misconduct against 20 women by Clarke, which also claimed that Maza made at least four phone calls to the alleged victims in advance of the article's publication, and claimed on one call that if it were published, "that’s me for the short term done". Maza's lawyers described the calls as approaches to "friends in the industry".[6][7][8]

Filming of Sky One’s British police-drama Bulletproof, in which Maza was starring, was cancelled as a result of the allegations.[9] Maza left production company Unstoppable Film and Television in August 2021 after being suspended earlier in the year.[10]


Personal life


Maza lives in Essex. His younger brother, Taylor, is also an actor.
