The Missing‘s James Nesbitt stars as a cop from Central London’s notorious Murder Squad who’s given a charm that seems to confer upon the wearer the ability to control luck. Lucky Man is due to air in 2016.
Ramamurthy’s TV credits include The Office, Covert Affairs, and Beauty And The Beast. He’s repped by Paradigm, The Artists Partnership, and Carlos K. Goodman of Bloom Hergott.
