Born to second generation Indian parents, British Asian actor #RayPanthaki plays ISRO astronaut Ram Arya on the new Netflix show #Away, starring Oscar-winner #HilarySwank. The 41-year-old London-based actor explains why he starred in, produced, and directed his own material when he realised that good roles were going to be hard to come by for brown actors in mainstream film and television. #Away is a drama, produced by #EdwardZwick, about an international crew that embarks on a mission to #Mars. The show is now streaming on Netflix.
