Career
Although primarily an actor, Maza began work as a film producer in 2011, setting up Think Big Productions,[2]with a belief that British film can be hugely entertaining, of great quality and international in scale and distribution. Since then he has produced 14 movies. Titles include: 10×10 starring Luke Evans, and Brotherhood for Lionsgate which grossed just shy of £4,000,000 at the UK Box Office.
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. 2020 will see the release of season 2 of Sky One's hit show Bulletproof as well The Drowning, a 4-part drama for Channel 5.
Currently, Maza appears as Special Officer Chris Munroe in Sky One’s second season of gripping British police-drama Bulletproof and has recently finished producing and starring in a modern adaptation of Oliver Twist, entitled Twist alongside Michael Caine, Rita Ora, Lena Headey and Raff Law.
Personal Life
Maza lives in Essex. His younger brother, Taylor, is also an actor.
