Maulik Pancholy Movies
A graduate of Yale Drama School, character actor
Maulik Pancholy became a familiar face on sitcoms and prime-time dramas during the mid- to late 2000s -- nearly always in a recurring or guest acting capacity -- and ushered in occasional bit parts in features. He netted particularly substantial recognition for his ongoing turn as Jack Donaghy's (
Alec Baldwin) loyal and slightly high-strung personal assistant, Jonathan, on the
Tina Fey/
Lorne Michaels-produced NBC sitcom
30 Rock, and for his portrayal of pot dealer Sanjay on
Weeds. Cinemagoers might also associate
Pancholy with his appearance as
Will Smith's overeager doorman in the romantic comedy
Hitch. In 2008,
Pancholy appeared as Trent opposite
Katherine Heigl and
James Marsden in the
Anne Fletcher-directed romantic comedy
27 Dresses.
Pancholy's acting experience also includes numerous theatrical roles. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
