Me: "who are any of these people?"
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.
I’ll always know him as Prismo
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.
Jesus, is that why they did that? That episode fucked me up
Don't forget Sarah Silverman, known for stand up comedy (?)
Also for the Bob's Burgers fans, Sarah her sister Laura play the twins Ollie and Andy Pesto, respectively.
Star Trek: Voyager
Wait what!!
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Rain_Robinson
Omg, I watched Voyager 100 times and never recognised her
For the voice of glitchy in Wreck it Ralph
That's right. Also (among other things) for appearances in SNL.
She had a show and was on a bunch of celebrity roasts too
Kumar worked in the white house? An actor got that jobb??
You'll never guess what Tom Morello studied at uni
The second guy was in the big bang theory and the third guy was in Dr. House, idk who the first guy is
Sir or madam the third one is Kumar, he went to White Castle long before he applied to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital
And then left that show to join the Obama administration. Seriously.
I was sure this was a troll when it happened, but no, it was real. Does anyone know if he did a good job?
As I recall, he was a perfectly competent staff member. I think he worked on the speechwriting team? It was a while ago, now, so I don’t remember most of the details.
Iirc, he only worked in the first Obama administration, and then returned to Hollywood. Apparently, having a perfectly normal job for four years was enough.
I believe Obama tweeted about it when he left and that he did
Kumail Nanjiani is a comedian and actor. He was in Silicon Valley and more recently he got shredded for Marvel's Eternals. He's pretty funny.
I almost read that name as "Kathy Najimy" (the actress from Sister Act and Hocus Pocus) just now.
Don't forget she's also Peggy from King of the Hill!
And Rat Race, and The Scream Team, a Disney channel original movie where she, Tommy Davidson, and Eric Idle play sassy ghosts who collaborate with living children.
He was also just on the most recent season of Taskmaster. Pretty funny guy.
He's also in the Fallout TV series and the Obi Wan Kenobi series
He was also in an episode of Community for the final paintball episode.
Deputy Custodian Lapari, he's in at least one episode in season 5, Analysis of Cork-Based Networking, the paintball episode is season 6, Modern Espionage.
"To shreds you say?" /s
Good news!
So sad he got jacked for that movie, but at least he remained jacked.
Without your comment for context, I thought he was being blamed for how bad/mediocre Eternals was
This is also what i thought the comment meant
That's funny, honestly his section with his manager was the best part of the movie. "He tried to kill me in me sleep!" "I thought he was a vampire!"
Silicon Valley & Adventure Time are his best roles imo but he’s pretty prolific
“Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency” I do know one of these guys!
Kumail

😂
He played, or voiced more accurately, prismo in adventure time. He's also a stand up comedian
First guy was the entertaining member of The ~~Immortals~~ ~~Incredibles~~ Eternals. That memorable Marvel bunch.
The first guy was a contestant on Taskmaster
Same here, I don't watch TV so I'm clueless.
I do know who Sarah is, my favorite role of hers was in The Way of the Gun and she gets decked.
I liked her most in Star Trek, easy to get a crush on that character
Didn't know she was on star trek, I'll have to review the historical records.
That scene is so classic, I had to give away my copy of the dvd because it is just so realistic in it's violence. One time I had to just stop watching it half way through and I don't think I can ever watch it again
Great movie but maybe just too real
Escalation of violence is key and this movie personifies it. Its a sad reality but thats how it is... (Done a ton of military training on this)
