Presleys career spanned theatre classics like Hamlet , Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Night's Dream . He also co-authored the acclaimed play Relativity and directed the award-winning Cell No. 4 .

He cemented his formidable acting reputation with his popular role as Thuso 'Cobra' Mokoena on The River , winning two Golden Horn at the SAFTAs for 'Best Actor - Telenovela' in 2019 and 2024.

The spin-off series, Cobrizi , was a vehicle for Presley to express himself in front of the camera as its star and behind it as the show's Executive Producer, M-Net said.
