Over the last decade or so, Riz Ahmed has become an actor who was reason enough to give a film or a television series a look.
Also a rapper, Ahmed won the Emmy Award for outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie for his work in the excellent 2016 HBO miniseries The Night Of and earned an Academy Award nomination for best actor for the engrossing 2019 drama Sound of Metal.
Now comes Bait, a solid half-hour comedy series in which he not only stars but also serves as an executive producer and is credited as a co-producer with Ben Karlin.
