Noma Dumezweni — on subverting expectations as Hermione Granger, and acting opposite Alexander Skarsgard
Manage episode 507996518 series 3469318
'Murderbot’ star Noma Dumezweni joins the show. Over pumpkin curry and pad see ew, Noma reflects on the joy of finding success in mid-life and why it’s never too late to dream bigger than you imagined. She opens up about tough days growing up as a refugee in the UK, her unexpected and acclaimed turn (and Tony nominated role) as Hermione Granger in ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,’ and the lessons she’s learned about trusting timing, family, and herself. Noma also talks about becoming a familiar face in prestige TV dramas (‘The Undoing,’ ‘Presumed Innocent’), what it’s like to spar on screen with Alexander Skarsgård in the Apple TV+ sci-fi hit ‘Murderbot,’ and why she loves being in awe of her fellow actors. This episode was recorded at Sukh in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
