Dev Patel

Dev Patel is a British actor whose extraordinary talent has been recognized with countless awards, including a BAFTA Award, a Critics' Choice Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, two Golden Globe Award nominations, and three SAG Award nominations. But perhaps most impressive is his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, which made Patel one of the youngest nominees ever in the category. Patel first gained attention for his role as Anwar Kharral in the British television series Skins, and he achieved international fame with his career-defining performance as Jamal Malik in Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire. His work in the film earned him the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Young Performer and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. What's more, Patel's undeniable talent has allowed him to continue to thrive in the entertainment industry, delivering powerful performances in films such as Lion, The Personal History of David Copperfield, and Hotel Mumbai. With an impressive filmography and a long list of awards, it's no wonder fans of the star joke that Dev Patel is always one award away from an EGOT!
