Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Dev Patel's Boundary-Breaking Charisma
Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. Today we are honoring Dev Patel, whose dashing personality and keen acting skills are helping to push the limits of what it means to be a British-Indian actor in Hollywood.
Of course we all know Patel as the toxic, hard partying Anwar Kharral in teen drama Skins and from his breakout role as Jamal Malik in 2008's Slumdog Millionaire. But he has progressed even more as an established actor that the industry and movie fans have fallen hard for. Patel later went on to star in 2010's The Last Airbender, the comedy-drama The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel alongside big names Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Penelope Wilton, its sequel The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and 2015's political sci-fi film Chappie.
