Bank of Dave 2 features a host of recognisable faces, including Happy Valley actor Amit Shah. But what else is there to know about him beyond the Netflix film?. It's been two years since the heartwarming 'true' story of Bank of Dave first graced our screens on Netflix, with The Diplomat star Rory Kinnear taking on the lead role as Dave Fishwick.
The sequel, The Loan Ranger, has now landed on Netflix, with Dave enlisting the help of various individuals in his quest to tackle payday lenders and loan sharks who prey on vulnerable people. Among these allies is Oliver (portrayed by Amit Shah), a local Citizens Advice counsellor who is more than willing to support Dave's mission, and who finds himself growing closer to American financial journalist Jessica (Chrissy Metz) along the way.
As Netflix subscribers delve deeper into Bank of Dave 2, here's everything you need to know about the man behind Oliver, actor Amit Shah. Shah was born in North London in 1981, although his parents hailed from Kenya and his grandparents from Gujarat in India.
His father worked as an accountant while his mother was employed at a health-food shop. Shah hadn't considered acting as a career until he was cast in the lead role in a school play at the age of 16. This sparked his passion for performing, leading him to study drama at Staffordshire University before attending the renowned drama school LAMDA in West London.
