Starring in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire.
Early-life:
Dev Patel was born in Harrow, London, on April 23, 1990. His first acting role was in a school production of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. He wanted to become an actor from an early age and excelled in drama at GCSE level, scooping top marks for a touching portrayal of a child caught up in the Beslan siege of 2004. Dev's mother made him take up martial arts in a bid to burn some of his excess energy. Dev took to the sport like a duck to water and participated in the 2004 AIMAA Championships in Dublin.
Career:
Patel shot to prominence after being cast as sex-obsessed Muslim teenager Anwar in Channel 4 comedy drama Skins. The show became an overnight hit with viewers and won the Rose d'Or for drama in 2008 and scooped the Philips Audience Award at the Baftas a year later. The entire Skins cast was re-cast at the end of series two, and Dev beat hundreds of actors to be cast in the lead role of Danny Boyle's heartwarming drama Slumdog Millionaire. The film went on to win a staggering eight Academy Awards in 2009. He went on to appear in M Night Shyamalan's 2010 blockbuster The Last Airbender and 2012 comedy drama The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, alongside Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Maggie Smith. Since 2012, he has starred in HBO drama The Newsroom.

Sharlto had long wanted to be an actor, but in his early 20s, he found himself working behind the camera at his TV production company in South Africa.

Years later, Neil Blomkamp directed Copley in the Academy Award-nominated sci-fi movie District 9 (2009). He played the lead role of Wikus van der Merwe. A year later, he played Murdock in the feature film adaptation of The A-Team. More recently, Copley portrayed Agent Kruger in Blomkamp's Elysium (2013).
