Riz Ahmed’s Journey To ‘Bait’: Shoplifting Accusations, Dark Alley Deals & Teaching Patrick Stewart Dirty Slang – Contenders TV

Oscar- and Emmy-winning actor, writer and producer Riz Ahmed knew he had to lay it all out there for his Prime Video series Bait. “We’re all performing this public version of ourselves,” he said during Deadline’s Contenders TV panel.

A revelation that was compounded when he was banned from his local supermarket for suspected shoplifting the same week that photos of him from the upcoming Star Wars leaked.
