The actor, who previously starred in Raised By Wolves and Jamestown, is joining the cast of HBO’s House of the Dragon on news this year. He never really liked the TV and movie industries, where he eventually became well-known.
I didn’t particularly like TV as a kid,” he says. Cartoons were entertaining, but you couldn’t watch them all the time because they were on at a certain time.
Reading also wasn’t something he did naturally because of his dyslexia. Gamers, known as Abu, found solace in gaming as a young Salim.
My father could tell that was the one thing I was passionate about.
I wouldn’t be an actor if it weren’t for video games; they ignited my passion for narrative. And my dad realized it was the only way I could get in.
