Lucian Msamati

Lucian Msamati is one of those actors whose name should be far better known than it is. British-Tanzanian, educated at the University of Zimbabwe, he moves fluidly between Game of Thrones, the gentle warmth of his Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni, and serious stage work as Iago and Salieri. What draws me is his range and his refusal to be boxed in; he is actor, playwright, director, and writer all at once. His voice alone carries authority. I admire performers who treat each role as a chance to add weight rather than repeat themselves, and Msamati strikes me as exactly that kind of patient craftsman.
