As we all anticipate the release of the Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, a certain development really has piqued the interest of the Pakistani community.
A British-Pakistani actor, Umar Pasha, got his big break with House of the Dragon. So who is this desi actor making his television debut?
This underdog is actually an accomplished theater actor. Umar Pasha works at the Juilliard School in New York. Currently, he’s engaged in the National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA). He’s also an acting coach. So why don’t we know about him? It’s because he’s not even on social media.
We will only see him in the initial two episodes, revealed Parhlo. But will we get to see more of this actor? Well, he does have to tour coming up in the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India as part of Jean-Claude Carrier’s adaptation of Mahabharata.
COVID-19 is getting in the way, but we can hold on to hope. Till then he’ll be working in Pakistan as a teacher in NAPA.
On the other hand, he is linked with another famous Pakistani-British actor Riz Ahmed for further new projects.
