How Riz Ahmed makes his money

Film acting is his largest stream. Studio roles in Rogue One, Jason Bourne and Venom, where he played Carlton Drake, sit alongside acclaimed independent work such as Nightcrawler, Sound of Metal and Fingernails, plus voice work as Ballister Boldheart in Netflix's Nimona.

Television brings prestige roles. The Night Of earned him an Emmy, a guest role on Girls brought another nomination, and in 2026 he wrote, executive produced and starred in the limited series Bait, which earned him a second lead actor Emmy nomination.

Music adds a separate income line. He founded the independent label Battered Records in 2006, won Best MC at the Asian Music Awards that year, earned acclaim for the albums Microscope and Cashmere, and his song Immigrants (We Get the Job Done) from The Hamilton Mixtape won an MTV Video Music Award.

Producing gives him more control over his projects. His company Left Handed Films developed Englistan for BBC Two and secured a first look deal with Amazon, and he co-wrote, produced and starred in Mogul Mowgli and executive produced the Oscar-nominated documentary Flee.
