Rahul Kohli OF THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER

Q: I thought the guy who played Leo Usher in “The Fall of the House of Usher” series was excellent. What’s he doing now?

A: Great news: he’s moved on to something pretty similar, albeit a bit lighter. Rahul Kohli just appeared in another twisty thriller built around the intrigues of a rich family: Hulu’s “Death and Other Details.” This one has a lighter tone — more cozy mystery, less gothic horror. Kohli plays Sunil, the owner of the luxury cruise ship the show is set on (again, in contrast with the crumbling mansions and claustrophobic condo apartments of 2023’s “Usher”). The tonal shift must have been a joy for Kohli, who’s become a member of neo-noir master Mike Flanagan’s acting troupe. Flanagan created “The Fall of the House of Usher” as part of a long-term deal with Netflix that also gave us a couple of other dark-and-bloody miniseries, including “Midnight Mass” in 2021 and “The Haunting of Bly Manor” in 2020. Kohli featured in “Midnight Mass” as Sheriff Hassan and in “Bly Manor” as the household chef (and also love interest), Owen Sharma. That relationship will continue with the feature film “The Life of Chuck,” which is reportedly now in post-production. Flanagan produced, wrote and directed the film, which will feature Kohli in a currently unidentified role. It’s also not known when, or where, it’ll be released. Meanwhile, Kohli’s also working on an animated action series called “Twilight of the Gods,” created by superhero-movie hit-maker Zack Snyder (“Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” 2021). But again, there are no release details available yet.
