Whilst he hasn’t managed to turn BAFTA gold into any real money yet, there’s no doubt that the actor has the ability to forge a successful career in Hollywood. It may have been two years since his last decent pay check but hopefully Barkhad Adbi won’t stay on Hollywood’s breadline for too long, especially now the world has become more aware of his story.
