American rapper from Pennsylvania
In August 2013, Mill was one of the many rappers mentioned by Kendrick Lamar on his guest verse on Big Sean's "Control".

His writing has also been called "confessional" and controversial. '' The New York Times'' has called Lamar's musical style anti-flamboyant, interior and complex and labelled him as a technical rapper. '' Billboard'' described his lyricism as "Shakespearean".
William Shakespeare
His last major tragedies, ''Antony and Cleopatra'' and ''Coriolanus'', contain some of Shakespeare's finest poetry and were considered his most successful tragedies by the poet and critic T. S. Eliot.

Historical facts are also changed: in Plutarch, Antony's final defeat was many weeks after the Battle of Actium, and Octavia lived with Antony for several years and bore him two children: Antonia Major, paternal grandmother of the Emperor Nero and maternal grandmother of the Empress Valeria Messalina, and Antonia Minor, the sister-in-law of the Emperor Tiberius, mother of the Emperor Claudius, and paternal grandmother of the Emperor Caligula and Empress Agrippina the Younger.
Rihanna
In an interview with Alexa Chung during '' Vogue'' Festival 2015, Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing praised Rihanna by stylistically comparing her to some of the biggest fashion icons in music history, such as Madonna, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Prince.

He also continued acting; his roles included Major Jack Celliers in ''Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence'' (1983), Jareth the Goblin King in '' Labyrinth'' (1986), Pontius Pilate in ''The Last Temptation of Christ'' (1988), and Nikola Tesla in ''The Prestige'' (2006), among other film and television appearances and cameos.
Two years later, he played Pontius Pilate in Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed biblical epic '' The Last Temptation of Christ'' (1988).
Pontius Pilate
Roman governor of Judaea and condemner of Jesus
Following Tiberius's death, Pilate's hearing would have been handled by the new emperor Caligula: it is unclear whether any hearing took place, as new emperors often dismissed outstanding legal matters from previous reigns. The only sure outcome of Pilate's return to Rome is that he was not reinstated as governor of Judaea, either because the hearing went badly, or because Pilate did not wish to return. J. P. Lémonon argues that the fact that Pilate was not reinstated by Caligula does not mean that his trial went badly, but may simply have been because after ten years in the position it was time for him to take a new posting. Joan Taylor, on the other hand, argues that Pilate seems to have ended his career in disgrace, using his unflattering portrayal in Philo, written only a few years after his dismissal, as proof.
