Who Plays Kamal On American Horror Story: Delicate?
"American Horror Story: Delicate" has once again introduced another terrifying tale for television with several intriguing characters, each adding to the chilling atmosphere in their own unique way, like Anna Victoria Alcott's (Emma Roberts) bodyguard Kamal. Besides the fact that he is always watching, not a lot was disclosed about the suspicious protector or his true motivations, encouraging fans to keep both eyes on him as the story progresses. While he only appeared briefly in Season 12, Episode 2 ("Rockabye"), some viewers might be looking to figure out who is responsible for the mysterious role in the FX horror anthology.
The devoted bodyguard is played by Maaz Ali, but "American Horror Story: Delicate" is far from the actor's first gig. Since 2014, he has been adding a number of notable credits to his resume, including titles such as "Unfair & Ugly," "Vengeful," "Hiraeth," and the Apple TV series "Mythic Quest." In addition, Ali has a solid amount of experience in voice acting, with highlights including the English voice parts for the characters Buddha and Vishnu from the anime "Record of Ragnarok" and Chairman Rose in the video game "Pokémon Masters." He also was the voice of Sugreev in the animated series "The Legend of Hanuman" and was an ADR voice artist for the MCU show "Ms. Marvel."
While there is no denying he is dedicated to the craft of acting, some fans might be surprised to learn that Ali also has another fascinating set of skills.
Maaz Ali has some killer dance moves
Judging by Maaz Ali's multifaceted body of work, it's no secret the actor brings a lot of talent to the table, but what some probably didn't realize is that he also possesses the uncanny ability to absolutely tear up the dance floor. Hiding behind Kamal's creepy demeanor is an actor with years of dancing experience at his disposal, and when watching Ali's impressive dance reel on YouTube, it becomes clear this guy isn't afraid to show off what he can do in front of a crowd.
Whether for a character in a show or a music video, Ali knows how to get people's attention when the music plays and it's time to dance. An excellent example and arguably one of his biggest claims to fame is the 2016 music video for the song "Circle" by Tesla Boys, in which the actor plays several different characters, each with a different wild dance routine. On the video's fourth anniversary, Ali reflected on how grateful he was to be a part of the project in a post on Instagram, writing, "Since then, it's racked up 160k+ views, a 2017 SXSW nomination, and featured at Australia's CLIPPED Festival. Best physical shape my fingers have ever been in."
While many people will probably be excited to see what the future holds for the actor after his run on "American Horror Story," others might be hoping to see him show off his magnificent maneuvers for a major role.
