Nebli Basani

Nebli Basani’s story kicks off in Albania, but honestly, he’s more Glaswegian than most folks born there. He landed in the UK when he was just a kid, soaking up the chaos and character of Glasgow as he grew up. The city and its rough-around-the-edges charm shaped him, no doubt. You can kind of hear it in his voice and see it in the way he moves—he’s got that mix of Balkan grit and Scottish swagger. Acting didn’t just fall in his lap. The guy hustled. Nebli scored a spot at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly a walk in the park. That place churns out some serious talent, and he came out of there with a BA in Acting, ready to shake things up. Since then, Nebli’s been bouncing between theatre stages and film sets, working under directors who actually light a fire under him. He’s not the type to phone it in—people say you can see his love for cinema in every role he picks, and that’s not just PR fluff. Movies got under his skin early, digging in deep enough that you couldn’t blast them out with dynamite. That obsession is what kicked off his whole acting adventure, and you can tell he’s all in, every time the camera rolls or the curtain goes up.
