LOS ANGELES, March 2 (UPI) -- BAFTA-winning actor Barkhad Abdi told the New Yorker he's now broke after making $65,000 for his role in "Captain Phillips" two years ago.
The Oscar-nominated film was Abdi's first film role. He had been living in Minneapolis after immigrating there from war-torn Somalia and saw an open call for actors to play Somali pirates in the Tom Hanks flick.
