Meet Gaz Choudhry, the GB Paralympian turned star of AppleTV+’s newest thriller

In AppleTV+’s newest series Extrapolations, the year is 2059. Climate change is making the planet unliveable; humanity hides inside during the daylight hours to avoid dying from heatstroke. In the middle of this, two men set out on a mission to deliver the precious rice seeds they’ve stolen across the country.

It’s a high-action, big-budget TV thriller about the climate crisis: with episodes set in different time periods over the 21st century. It features an all-star cast, including Kit Harington, Meryl Streep, Ed Norton, Marion Cotillard and Sienna Miller. In other words, it’s not the kind of show you’d expect to land for your first acting gig. However, that’s exactly what Gaz Choudhry has done.
