Joined MI5: 2007
With the world changing so fast, MI5 needs more people like Tariq. Recruited whilst still at university, he's been fast tracked through the system. Young, bright and keen, he's a true computer whizz and what he lacks in experience, he makes up for with natural brilliance. Sometimes cocky, but never arrogant, Tariq's always up for a challenge. Working for Section D is a dream come true and he's determined to make his mark on MI5.
This is Shazad's first professional television engagement since leaving Bristol Old Vic Drama School. During his time at Bristol he studied and performed in many stage productions including King Lear playing Cornwall and Richard Sheridan's comedy School for Scandal as Joseph Surface.
Shazad's professional theatre credits include Ricky Roma in the David Mamet classic Glengarry Glen Ross at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival directed by comedy legend Roger Lloyd Pack to great acclaim and Mumbai Tales at the Blue Elephant theatre in London.
