If you like pugs and the occasional blurry photo of an action figure, follow him on Twitter @NickARomano.Abubakar Salim is still dealing with the fact that his life right now is a fantasy come true.prequel he now joins in season 2 as key character Alyn of Hull.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm making it up," he says. "It is weird because I always said if I was going to ever have the chance to tell a story that I have control over, I really want to make it big." Salim also voices the title role of Zau, a young Nganga who's grieving the loss of his father. The single-player fantasy adventure begins when Zau makes a bargain with Kalunga, the God of Death, to bring his Baba back to life. In exchange, he must journey across the world of Kenzera, an Afrofuturistic landscape heavily inspired by Bantu lore, to defeat three great spirits on Kalunga's most-wanted list.
Salim's father was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer when the actor was in his late teens, just as he was entering drama school. He died from the condition in 2013. "It felt like someone snatched these rose-tinted glasses from me, and I'm seeing everything in full HD now," Salim says. "It really changed me, man. It was something that I just needed to express in some way, shape, or form.
"I know this trajectory that my character goes through, so it's really exciting to know the end goal," he says. "It's almost like, as an actor, reading a play because you know how it ends and you have fun with the journey of how you get to where you want to get to. I'm really enjoying that.
