Martin Bobb-Semple, known for his breakout roles in "All American: Homecoming" and "One of Us is Lying," has secured a major role in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios live-action series adaptation of "Tomb Raider." According to sources close to the production, Bobb-Semple will play Zip, one of Lara Croft's key allies and tech support, in a series-regular capacity.

. I mean, Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, that's not bad. And now Martin Bobb-Semple is joining the crew, playing Zip - sounds like an interesting character to me 
. CAA deal, huh? That's always a good sign for actors looking to take their careers up a notch 
. I'm all for diversity in casting and it seems like Amazon is giving some young talent a chance, so fingers crossed it pays off for Bobb-Semple 
. The West End debut, BBC training - that's some solid background for him, so maybe he's due for his close-up 
.
he's already shown us his acting chops in all american homecoming and one of us is lying, now imagine him bringing zip to life on tomb raider!!! 
the casting looks super impressive with sophie turner as lara croft too! 
can't wait to see this series come together 
. Sophie Turner as Lara Croft seems awesome too, I've heard she's great in other shows. I'm curious to see how they'll bring this adventure series to life on Amazon 
It just goes to show that the industry is finally recognizing his talent and he's not just some unknown face anymore 
His casting is a no-brainer, he's been killing it in TV and film already. Fingers crossed for an epic performance from him! 
also, have we seen a trailer yet? gotta know if this is gonna be good or just another generic action flick 
. I wonder how they're planning to incorporate all the action and adventure elements into the show... are they gonna do it live-action, or maybe mix in some CGI? 
The cast for Tomb Raider series looks so lit 
still super excited for the show, phoebe waller-bridge as showrunner tho 
). Bring on the Tomb Raider series, I'm here for it 
He's gonna be good as Zip I think, sounds like an interesting role. And Phoebe Waller-Bridge is showrunner which is awesome, she's super talented too 
! i'm curious to see how they're gonna bring the characters to life on screen. martins character zip sounds like a total game-changer and i think he's gonna NAILED it 
can't wait for this series to drop!
