"It Was Like a Secret Agent Meeting" Riz Ahmed's Fight to Get James Bond in 'BAIT'

Riz Ahmed joins The Awards Tour Podcast host Jacqueline Coley to discuss his upcoming dramedy 'BAIT'! He details how he was able to convince Barbara Broccoli to let him use the coveted James Bond intellectual property in the show, his excitement about exploring the themes of interpersonal relationships, vulnerability, and overcoming adversity when people don't think you are good enough, and how it was important to give the characters' local community the same gravitas as the exotic locales in the 007 franchise.
