ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Riz Ahmed talks in torrents of passionate philosophy. He offers a raft of ideas for every question he’s asked, then undergirds those answers by quoting from Tolstoy, Rumi and Pixar. When @rizahmed’s big brown eyes widen and he really gets going, as he did early this month when he spoke with @kylethomasbuchanan, he can sound like a terrifically engaging podcast played at 1.5-x speed. “He’s a bit of a savant, like a supercomputer,” said Darius Marder, the director of “Sound of Metal,” the critically acclaimed Amazon drama that has vaulted the 38-year-old Ahmed into the best-actor Oscar race. Marder regarded that fearsome intellect as both an asset to the film and a challenge to be overcome. After a series of supporting roles in “Venom,” “The Sisters Brothers” and other movies, Ahmed was eager for an all-consuming challenge, and he recognized a kindred spirit in Marder, who had spent 13 years searching for stars who could match his full-throttle commitment to the movie. Ahmed has always been eager to pile his plate high. He has worked steadily then heavily, in the process becoming the first Muslim and the first South Asian man to win an acting Emmy for his transformative role as an accused murderer in “The Night Of.” But taking on too much left him alienated from the things he loved doing, and guilty for even feeling that way. “I think that’s a byproduct of a lot of things,” he said, “like feeling a bit of a burden of representation on your shoulders, and realizing that you might occupy space that many others don’t.” Tap the link in our bio to read more about Ahmed, the actor’s Amazon drama and his creative process.
