My Take
Shazad Latif interests me for a specific reason: he keeps gravitating toward characters with hidden second selves. Whether playing Jekyll and Hyde in Penny Dreadful, the ambiguous Ash Tyler in Star Trek: Discovery, or now Captain Nemo in Nautilus, he is repeatedly trusted with men whose true face is uncertain. That is a particular gift; it lives in the eyes and the restraint, not the volume. Moving comfortably between spy drama, science fiction and the stage, the London-born actor has a range that should serve him well, and I suspect a genuinely lead-defining role is still ahead of him.
