Glad I could share, then! It does give me a little moment of happiness to know that some of the huge media attention and love that you get from being IN STAR WARS is going to someone who who talks so acutely about being a British Muslim, getting searched every time he goes through an airport, being typecast as a terrorist, and so on. Maybe it means someone will hear and listen to it who might not otherwise.
And obviously actors are not their characters, etc. etc., but (for me) it's always a nice extra bonus when a character I love turns out to be played by someone awesome.
