Riz Ahmed #1: "As my acting career developed, I was no longer cast as a radical Muslim – except at the airport."
 

Add me please?

great title

It's from an article he wrote for the Guradian:

Added you, Tar! :hug:

damn it, I never realised how hard it must be to get past stereotypes

He is still getting profiled at airports, picked for "random" searches. He's very vocal about it, he's part of the duo Swet Shop Boys, they released a song called T5 last year, about this experience.

He also created a fundraiser for Syria:

Thanks for sharing :)

I love Riz! Thanks for creating a thread for him!

Good to see you here :wave: His name sounds familiair because I've seen it around on news sites but what is he doing at the moment? :shrug:

I'm not sure. I first saw him in The Night Of, then Rogue One of course. And I just saw Jason Bourne a couple weeks ago. I hadn't heard about the Western he signed on to until I saw the post here. That sounds cool.

oh I have seen Jason Bourne this past summer!! What kind of role did he play on that? I don't remember him :blush:

I haven't seen Rogue One or The Night of.. :look:

I'll have to see if there's something on Netflix from him :)
