My Take

What strikes me about Suraj Sharma is that he basically walked into one of the hardest debuts imaginable. Ang Lee cast a teenager from New Delhi with no acting background to carry Life of Pi almost entirely alone, opposite a CGI tiger, and the result earned a BAFTA Rising Star nomination. That's not a small thing. I also like that he didn't vanish afterward the way one-shot discoveries often do. Moving into Homeland as Aayan Ibrahim showed he wanted real craft, not just the fairy-tale story. The St. Stephen's College detail makes me read him as someone grounded rather than chasing fame for its own sake.

Overview

Suraj Sharma (born 21 March 1993) is an Indian actor who made his debut in the 2012 film Life of Pi. Directed by Ang Lee, the film was adapted from the novel of the same name, and earned Sharma critical acclaim as well as a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination. In 2014, he portrayed Aayan Ibrahim in season 4 of the Showtime series Homeland.
