Biography

Dev Patel delighted audiences as the underdog leading man, Jamal, in the runaway hit SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, which won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. He received rave reviews for his performance and garnered a number of award wins including the National Board of Review Award for Best Breakthrough Performance, The British Independent Film Award for Most Promising Newcomer, The Broadcast Film Critics Choice Award for Best Young Actor, and The Chicago & Washington Film Critics’ Awards for Most Promising Performer.

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE was only Patel’s second acting role — British audiences know him from the Channel 4 cult series “Skins,” where he was selected from an open casting call of hundreds to play the role of Anwar. Dev was seen in theaters starring in M. Night Shyamalan’s THE LAST AIRBENDER, and recently wrapped shooting a starring role opposite James Franco and Ashley Hinshaw in the independent film CHERRY.
