Award-winning BBC presenter Waseem Mirza seamlessly transitioned to acting after being cast in his first principal role in DC's Pennyworth (HBO/WarnerBros) while honing his craft at a London drama school.
The Peterborough native's passion for performance began during journalism studies at the University of Lincoln, and he now balances acting with commercial projects for prestigious brands including HSBC Global and Ministry of Defence.
He made the switch to acting after a career as a live tv news presenter at the BBC, when he enrolled at drama school just before the Covid pandemic. His first High-End TV role was on the AMC Networks/Acorn TV drama: London Kills, alongside Footballers Wives actress Laila Rouass. He then immediately booked a principal cast role on DC Studios/Warner Bros drama: Pennyworth The Origin of Batman's Butler.
He is due to make his first principal debut in a major US TV drama this fall (2024) and is due to star in the BFI funded short: Yellow Bucket. He made an appearance in British independent short crime thriller and proof of concept: Blue Snakes which has won over 40 awards on the festival circuit, with several having been crowned IMDb Qualifying.
Waseem Mirza is rapidly establishing himself as a leading authority in the technology industry, thanks to his background with the BBC's flagship technology brand CLICK, gaining recognition beyond his acting career thanks to regular appearances in worldwide news media. As a highly sought-after freelance journalist, Waseem leverages his expertise in technology as a presenter, event host, public speaker, and podcast host. His insights and analysis have been featured on BBC.com, The Guardian, BBC 5Live, Metro Online, Lifewire Magazine, NTD News Channel UK & US, GG2.net, IntelligentFinTech Magazine, Sri Lanka Weekly, thetechnational.com, and his own #TheFutureTECHShow.
