N!xau was a Namibian who starred in the 1980 movie The Gods Must Be Crazy and its sequels, in which he played the Kalahari Bushman Xixo.

He had only ever seen three white people before casting,[1] and when director Jamie Uys gave him his first cash payment of $300 for The Gods Must Be Crazy, he allegedly let it blow away in the wind because he did not understand its value.

[4][1][3] This was despite money already being a serious matter for other San since many of them depended on purchased food and government aid and/or had enlisted in the South African Army due to the high wages it paid.

[7][8] He was found dead in late June 2003 near his home in Namibia after going out to collect wood and on an excursion to hunt guineafowl.
