His father's family is from Alexandria, Virginia and his mother's family is from North Carolina, London, England and Trinidad. Coming from a long line of preachers, social activists and counselors Asante grew up in a spiritually grounded and socially conscious family. Asante hails from a family of artists as well. His mother has a love for singing and his father is a master of words and a poet in his own right. His grandfather, Dennis Wiley, is an accomplished songwriter and musician. He is also the nephew of Rashar Morton, a graphic design artist and the nephew of acclaimed Emmy-award winning actress, Samira Wiley. Asante started acting at only 6 years old. He was cast as Mowgli in The Jungle Book in 2008, which ignited his passion. Once Asante began high school he joined the Theater Department in his school and had the ability to take several theater and acting classes as he continued to hone his skills. During his freshman year he was cast as Bud in 'Father knows best' and Charlie in 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'. Asante signed with a talent agency that same year and then went on to take roles later on in high school such as Harry the Horse in 'Guys and Dolls', and Montgomery in 'Fame'. Asante was also awarded Most Promising Actor at the state-wide Maryland Thespian Festival and was the 2018-2019 President of the North Point High School Theater Club.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
