He can't act, so why does he get work??

His performance in 2nd Best Exotic Marigold Hotel should have won - not just been nominated for - an Oscar.

So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about our opinions of his acting skill.

Lol what? He's one of the best.

I do believe in Life of Pi, Pi Patel as Suraj Sharma was the person who acted in front of the live tiger and for once the stunt person received the acting credit.

Dev Patel acted in the movie as the son and narrated the story when the tiger was not around.

This movie was the most amazing that year and one of kind. It's largest success was in India.

Dev Patel was raised in the UK but his family is from India.

Loved him in Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire, the best exotic marigold hotel 1, have yet to see two or Chappie. Airbender was a good try by all involved it just did not have the magic. It's in quantifiable why some movies are gangbusters and some fizzle out like duds.

He wasn't in Life of Pi

He's better than the best of the best. He's the greatest actor on the planet, and the best there ever was. Even if there was an Oscar made of pure diamond, it would not be worthy to measure the awesomeness of this truly gifted and abyss of talent.

Irrfan Khan was grown up Pi/narrator in 'Life of Pi'...

Haters gotta hate...but great actors are just great.
