Things they're best known for:
Dinesh from Silicon Valley
Raj from Big Bang Theory
Kumar from Harold and Kumar, and also the Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Engagement during the Obama Administration
I would say that Kumail Nanjiani might also be well-known these days for being the guy who had a role in the Marvel flop "Eternals," and a subsequently hilarious press junket and social media tour.
And Kal Penn was also Dr. Kutner in "House MD," which was mostly notable because his character was suddenly and unceremoniously killed off so that Penn could go work for Obama.
Silicon Valley was pretty big when it was on. Now Kumail is just in everything. Can catch his voice in a ton of animated stuff, too.
Jesus, is that why they did that? That episode fucked me up
I think I heard that the showrunners were upset that he left them so suddenly, so they wrote him off in the most ignominious way possible.
I’ll always know him as Prismo
There was a great story about why he didnt voice him in the first season of Fiona and Cake since I noticed right away when it wasnt his voice. Thankfully he was back in season 2 and all was right with the world.
Kumail Nanjiani also had a role in the awful Kenobi series. Although of the three I think Kunal Nayyar is the one who had the least remarkable roles.
Yeah I almost mentioned both of those tbh, but I second guessed myself
Don't forget Sarah Silverman, known for stand up comedy (?)
Star Trek: Voyager
Wait what!!
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rain_Robinson
I remember rewatching it a couple years ago and being like... Wait is that Sarah Silverman?
Omg, I watched Voyager 100 times and never recognised her
Also for the Bob's Burgers fans, Sarah her sister Laura play the twins Ollie and Andy Pesto, respectively.
For the voice of glitchy in Wreck it Ralph
Vanellope, which I only remember because that's a dope name.
That’s Vanellope Von Sweets to you, you uncultured swine. /s
*Schweetz
Missed it by 🤏 that much.
And Orange is the New Black
Known for fucking Matt Damon
And that Babybel
That's right. Also (among other things) for appearances in SNL.
She had a show and was on a bunch of celebrity roasts too
I have to recommend her comedy special PostMortem from last year about dealing with the deaths of her parents. Amazing performance.
known for School of Rock
And support of Israel's genocide
I used to think she was cool
Sadly, she's shitty.
Silverman from supporting genocide.
I feel like Kumail has come a long way since Silicon Valley. I see him all the time, he even does commercials still.
I know him from Taskmaster!
No Nipple Nanjiani?
He also got a fictional hand job from Dan Harmon on HarmonQuest.
He'll always be Prismo to me
Kumar worked in the white house? An actor got that jobb??
You'll never guess what Tom Morello studied at uni
Why the surprise. A fucking actor sat in the Oval Office for 8 years.
