  • Ellen chatted with Tahar Rahim, star of the hit Netflix series "The Serpent," which centers on a real-life serial killer in the 1970s. He explained that while he ultimately decided not to meet with the murderer he portrayed, there was still a part of him that wanted to see how and if he'd con him in real life.

      Watch him in The Eddy on Netflix. Beautiful and amazing. He's killed off early but comes back in people's memories. He made me light up just watching him and I didn't realize where I'd seen him before, even though I only watched The Serpent about a month ago.

It does a great job at showing how the prison system doesn't reform, but turns them into real criminals instead. Watch it!!! Tahar, I will see win an Oscar soon, my friend.

    He played quite a hero in The Looming Tower- so not always dark roles. And Mauritanian is also not a dark role, just a man who was wrongly imprisoned for years but still has an upbeat view of life. The Serpent is the darkest but still very interesting. Loved all your roles, Tahar.
