His Dark Materials: Where You Recognise The Cast From
8. Ariyon Bakare - Lord Carlo Boreal
His Dark Materials marks the third slightly weird, off kilter fantasy drama Ariyon Bakare has starred in this year alone. If you're a fan of the genre, you're bound to have seen him, as long as you have Amazon Prime, because that's where both Carnival Row and Good Omens reside.
While all three shows have been successful to various degrees, 2019 wasn't necessarily Bakare's breakout year; he's enjoyed a wealth of roles previously, with bit parts or supporting roles in some fantastic projects.
The Dark Knight, one of (arguably the) greatest movie of the century so far, features Bakare as a Guard Commander. He's also appeared in Life, Star Wars: Rogue One, Death In Paradise and New Blood recently.
Going a bit further back, he has a more ecclectic career, including the aforementioned Nolan hit The Dark Knight, but also Doctor Who, Jupiter Ascending, A Touch Of Frost, Doctors, Holby City and, like so many others in this cast, The Bill.
