Nick E. Tarabay

While Nick E. Tarabay may not have a shelf full of trophies, his impact on genre television is undeniable. He turned Ashur from a supporting character into one of the most iconic villains of the 2010s, a role that fans still discuss over a decade later. His ability to bring nuance to morally ambiguous characters has earned him a dedicated following and the respect of his peers. Returning as the lead in Spartacus: House of Ashur after more than a decade is a rare honor that speaks to his lasting appeal.
