Mustafa Shakir plays Moses in Cinemax’s Quarry, Victor in James Gandolfini’s passion project The Night Of and has just guest starred in NBC’s Sci Fi drama Timeless. He’s also taking lead roles in upcoming projects including Big Mike in the HBO series The Deuce opposite James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the Ernest Dickerson feature film Double Play and action movie Brawl In Cell Block 99 opposite Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Carpenter. If that’s not impressive enough, he also has a Bacon Number of 2 and has just been interviewed by me for NerdSpan.
