After his panel show appearance made unexpected allies of Sky News and the ABC, the rapper is returning to the small screen – this time as an actor
While his music is often stark and uncompromising, Ramo is warm and soft-spoken in person; someone who greets with a hug, not a handshake. He remembers the ensuing outrage cycle, which led to both Sky News and Joyce defending the ABC: “I was like, I’ve broken the Matrix!”
Out New Year’s Day, Ramo plays Ezekiel, a mysterious figure in the unsolved 1994 killing of 17-year-old Isabel Baker in small-town north Queensland – a crime that Isabel’s South Sea Islander community never quite healed from. Ramo brings a tenderness to the role, convincing as a character who we’re not sure whether to trust or fear.
