Osita Iheme is a Nigerian actor, producer, and writer who was born on February 20, 1982. He is a native of Mbaitoli, Imo State. Osita Iheme was born into a family of five, his parents and siblings being taller than him. His mother's name is Mrs. Augustina Iheme, and his father is Mr. Herbert Iheme.

Osita had his MBA degree from the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu (IMT), and he was raised in Abia State. He originally intended to become a lawyer after graduating from IMT, but in 1998 he decided to pursue a career in film acting, appearing in modest roles at first.

Throughout his career, Osita Iheme was frequently pigeonholed into playing juvenile roles; this tendency persisted long after he reached adulthood. Osita Iheme has starred in more than hundred movies. Like his colleague Chinedu Ikedieze, Iheme stands apart from other performers in the Nigerian film industry thanks to his ‘little’ physique. In his professional life, he has developed from a humorous performer to a versatile, well-known actor. The Nollywood community has given Chinedu and Osita a lot of credit for their continued on-screen and off-screen relationship. Nonetheless, he disclosed in 2018 that he hoped to enter politics one day.

In 2011 he was awarded the Nigerian National Honor of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) by President Goodluck Jonathan. In 2007 he was given the lifetime Achievement award by AMAA (African movie Academy Awards).
