Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has opened to solid reviews across the globe. In India too, the epic is set to make big numbers on day one. While everyone is talking about the big screen experience, one actor who has grabbed the headlines is Himesh Patel.

Not many know that the actor who plays Eurylochus, the trusted second-in-command of Odysseus, is of Indian origin. Himesh Patel is British Indian and was chosen especially by Nolan to play this key role. Now, his character has become a talking point, especially among the Indian community.

Born in Cambridgeshire, England, Himesh first became popular through the British TV show EastEnders. He later gained fame with the film Yesterday, where he played the lead. Himesh also appeared in major projects such as Tenet, Don’t Look Up, and Station Eleven.

But here in The Odyssey, Himesh plays one of the most important supporting characters, and his work is also being appreciated by the audience and critics alike. Indians across the globe are proudly sharing clips of Himesh from the film and slowly making him viral.
