    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 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.

          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.

        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.
