HBO’s limited series The Night Of concluded this Sunday with a 90-minute season finale, wrapping up the trial of Nasir Khan and how his life changed forever that one fateful night. If you’re familiar with the series (and even if you’re not), Naz was accused of murder and the bulk of the series is spent proving his innocence/guilt as he triest to survive in Riker’s Island.
Riz Ahmed (the guy that plays Naz) visited Late Show last night to talk to Stephen Colbert about how he got his role on the show and what happens when people find out he’s actually British. Most of us were introduced to him on the show, so if you weren’t aware, he’s also a rapper whose stage name is Riz MC and also has roles in Jason Bourne and the upcoming Star Wars Rogue One film.
