Adam Bessa, The Award-Winning Star Of Cannes Critics’ Week Opener ‘Ghost Trail’, Has Big Fish To Fry – Ones To Watch


Adam Bessa goes to a 'dark place' in his starring role in Critics’ Week opener ‘Ghost Trail’ — Cannes Film Festival.

When he won the Un Certain Regard jury’s joint Best Actor prize for Harka in 2022, Adam Bessa wasn’t onstage to accept it. I had no f*cking idea how to do it.” After a lot of hustling, he got an agent, and through that, he met the Russo brothers, who cast him first in Mosul then their Extraction series. Currently waiting to see whether Amazon will go for another season of hit French series The Source, in which he stars as the outwardly respectable head of a cannabis-dealing crime family, Bessa has plenty in his life to be getting on with.
