So I need your help: How does one pronounce this fine actor’s name? You’ve seen him in “Dirty Pretty Things,” “Children of Men” and, most recently, David Mamet’s martial arts thriller “Redbelt,” but can you tell me, definitively, on no uncertain terms, how to say “Chiwetel Ejiofor”?

Is it sheye-wi-TEL EDGE-oh-for?

Or CHEW-wi-tel eee-zcha-FOR?

Or something else? Tell ya what - the first reader who presents me with the correct pronunciation and a compelling reason why I should believe it’s the correct pronunciation will receive a TBD DVD in the mail. Game on!
