The Odyssey might have an absolutely stacked cast, but there’s one actor in particular who’s drawing praise as the film hits theaters.
Himesh Patel plays Eurylochus in the movie, a crew member on Odysseus’s long voyage home. While Patel hasn’t been at the center of the film’s marketing, fans are heaping praise on him.
“Himesh Patel delivers an incredible performance in The Odyssey. He deserves far more recognition,” says one fan.

“Himesh Patel gives one of the best performances in The Odyssey, and has a very prominent role, yet the marketing pretends he’s barely in the film. Hope his flowers will come because he deserves better,” says another person.
“Dude is in like two thirds of the movie and rightfully calls out Odysseus’s more questionable actions. Great performance,” says someone else.
