Riz Ahmed takes on Iconic British Culture | VICE Culture Club Ep11

This is the highlights of our conversation with Riz Ahmed. For the full interview become a VICE Member. Riz Ahmed has been pushing British culture forward for 2 decades. He’s a rapper, actor, and activist. He started out as an outsider skewering popular culture's take on terrorists and has moved into taking on iconic British roles like Shakespear’s Hamlet, Harry Potter’s Snape, and even James Bond. We talk about his banned song, who he would like to rap with, who he would like to act with, and where he wish he was right in this moment. Tim Allen also comes up a surprising amount. Check out Riz Ahmed in his new movie “Hamlet” and his new show “Bait” Music Makers, VICE just launched the Playlist Project, a global song contest built around real life moments.
