British actor Dev Patel gained prominence through his role in 2009’s Slumdog Millionaire which won eight Academy Awards. He’s been in a few films since then – ie Chappie and The Last Airbender – but it might be Lion that gets his noticed again to the same heights as Slumdog.

Patel plays Saroo Brierley, a young Indian man who was mostly raised in Australia, who is on a mission to find his biological family back in India.
