Jermaine Fowler has featured in quite a number of movies but Coming to America 2 is by far the movie that made him become known globally. His role in the movie saw him act as Lavelle Junson, an unemployed, obscure man in his 30s in Queens New York struggling to make a living and get a job. However, his life was turned round for the better when two “ordinary” looking men (Eddie Murphy as Akeem and Arsenio Hall as Semmi) approached him and revealed to him that he was in fact the heir to the throne of Zamunda – a prosperous African nation.

Jermaine Fowler’s role as Lavelle Junson saw his life turned around as he suddenly turned from an unemployed, young black man to a privileged prince. The movie plot showed him travel to Zamunda with his mother to the welcoming arms of the kingdom and to an unwelcoming hand of the unsuspecting wife of King Akeem (Eddie Murphy)

Jermaine Fowler’s acting in the movie Coming to America was a mixture of hilarious comic remarks, intertwined, conflicting cultures of a young man raised in New York and suddenly having to deal with African traditions and the traditions of Zamunda some of which included plucking the whiskers of a lion, enduring a painful circumcision experience, having to deal with different people in the bathroom and many more! This said, it is no doubt Jermaine Fowler played his role well as Lavelle Junson prince of Zamunda.
