Born and raised in East London, Akshay Kumar has gone on to carve an incredible career for himself securing his first lead role as the quiet, tech-savvy genius, Cam, in Unstoppable Entertainment's teen-party film 'Legacy'. Shortly after, playing Nicki Veer to Ray Panthaki's Jay Veer in the romantic comedy 'One Crazy Thing' followed by the role of Roshan Jabour in ITV's 'The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: Beyond the Pale' alongside Paddy Considine. A month before his graduation, Akshay was cast as Rahim in Season 4 of the Emmy-winning U.S. show 'Homeland' (starring Claire Danes, Mandy Patinkin, Rupert Friend and Suraj Sharma).
His first Hollywood feature film credit came in the form of Michael Apted's 'Unlocked' (May 2017) starring Noomi Rapace, Orlando Bloom, John Malkovich and Michael Douglas. Since then, he has gone on to work steadily between British and American Film & TV, as well as a handful of short and independent films - some of which he has co-produced and is currently starring in the hit US series 'Pandora'
We see an incredible body of work Akshay has achieved, yet in this episode we delve deep in to the behind the scenes of what it has actually taken Akshay to overcome. Self-doubt, been told in the past he the worst at acting school and his craft, made to feel undeserving of his agent, being an introvert whilst trying to navigate his way through an industry where being resilient and confidence are part essentials to keep going.
