Riz Ahmed — on prepping for ‘Sound of Metal,’ and how his wife led him to ‘RELAY’

Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Emmy-winning actor and the star of film ‘RELAY’ Riz Ahmed joins the show. Over an Indian breakfast of chicken keema, Riz reflects on the daunting preparation for ‘Sound of Metal,’ what American sign language taught him about expression, and why he couldn’t pass up his new thriller ‘RELAY.’ We also get into his Oscar-winning short film ‘The Long Goodbye,’ his advocacy for Muslim inclusion in Hollywood, and how his fractured relationship with Great Britain shows up in his music. This episode was recorded at Dishoom on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, London.
