Macalester College despite its size has produced some other famous alumni including former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, actress Danai Gurira of ‘Black Panther’ fame, and super-agent Ari Emmanuel whose career loosely inspired the character Ari Gold in the American comedy-drama series ‘Entourage’.
