"As a young actor in Hollywood, you're dealing with issues of masculinity, ego, success and fame. That's the same quest this young man goes on," said Patel about his role in "The Green Knight." (Devin Oktar Yalkin/The New York Times)Devin Yalkin—The New York Times/Redux I first met Dev Patel at the very first read-through for _Skins,_ before he ever got on TV. He was so full of life, and we both couldn’t believe we were missing school to do this. After _Slumdog Millionaire,_ I went from getting food with him in Wetherspoons to watching him at the Golden Globes, within a month—and he still checked in when he got back. Dev radiates goodness. His humanity shines through every time he graces the screen, leaving you no choice but to root for him even when his character is doing something foul; his presence makes you understand where he’s coming from. With a career that always elevates, [his latest performance](https://time.com/6961772/monkey-man-review-dev-patel/) in _Monkey Man_ is my favorite. Giving us a fierce, soulful empathy, a channeled rage, shades of him we have yet to see—knowing he was so into martial arts during _Skins,_ he’s brought it all together. _Monkey Man_ is his moment, and an incredible directorial debut. Dev sets the pace. He’s limitless. He’s fearless. Our responsibility as a generation is to go into familiar spaces and see them through new perspectives, thus creating, finding, and sharing a space that has never been touched before. He has that gift. He continues to surpass himself and surprise us, and we are all waiting for where he’ll take us next. _Kaluuya is an Oscar-winning actor_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/"},"headline":"Dev Patel","datePublished":"2024-04-17T11:10:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-05T07:46:22.816Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/","keywords":["TIME100","franchise","Magazine","Special Project","sponsorshipblock","Accolades","2024TIME100","T100Artists2024"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaa53e5e0bf78779f/698a558e9d83e802c0b99f5d/time-100-2024-dev-patel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[],"creator":"Time","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaa53e5e0bf78779f/698a558e9d83e802c0b99f5d/time-100-2024-dev-patel.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/","name":"Dev Patel"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"See Everyone on the TIME100 2024 list","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/73p9kgIN/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-04-17T11:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/73p9kgIN.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/","duration":"PT1M59S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/100-most-influential-people-2024/6964742/dev-patel-2/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
