Bio

Kumail Nanjiani is an Oscar and Emmy-nominated writer and critically acclaimed actor and comedian.  Na

Kumail Nanjiani is an Oscar and Emmy-nominated writer and critically acclaimed actor and comedian. 

Nanjiani earned an Emmy nomination in the category of “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” for his compelling portrayal of Chippendales Founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee in Hulu’s limited series, Welcome to Chippendales. The series, which aired on November 22, 2022, delves into the true story of Banerjee, the visionary Indian American entrepreneur behind Chippendales. Nanjiani starred alongside Murray Bartlett, Juliette Lewis, and Andrew Rannels. He also secured a nomination for “Best Actor in a Streaming Limited or Anthology Series or Movie” at the HCAs. The show earned five total Emmy nominations.

Upcoming in film, Nanjiani will star in Scott Rosenberg’s A Guy Walks Into A Bar, which watches as a mild-mannered new father (Nanjiani) befriends a charismatic yet mysterious man (Sam Rockwell) at a bar, and soon suspects him of concealing a troubling secret. Additionally, Nanjiani will be starring alongside Mandy Moore in the next installment of the beloved Insidious series- Thread: An Insidious Tale. The story, an off shoot of the original saga, tells that of a husband and wife who enlist the help of a spell to travel back in time, such that they can prevent the death of their young daughter. Nanjiani was also announced as a part of the Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel alongside returning cast-members Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon.

On the animation side, Nanjiani is lending his voice to Migration, a Universal Pictures adventure-comedy that follows a family of ducks who convince its overprotective father to go on the vacation of a lifetime, during which their plans go awry. Migration will be released in December, 2023.

In television, it was recently announced that Nanjiani will star in and produce FX’s Homeland Elegies, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize winning author Ayad Akhtar. The series will be led by Nanjiani and blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of identity and belonging in post-Trump America.

In other news, Nanjiani and Gordon are set to write the feature adaptation of The Doubtful Guest a 1957 illustrated short story by Edward Gorey. It director Andy Muschietti is set to direct and produce alongside his sister Barbara Muschetti under their Double Dream banner. Nanjiani will also star in the feature which was acquired as a feature pitch by Amblin Partners.

Nanjiani could also be seen on the Disney+ Star Wars prequel Obi-Wan opposite Ewan McGregor. The series was directed by Deborah Chow, who helmed two episodes of The Mandalorian Season 1. Other cast members include Rupert Friend (Homeland), Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit), Sung Kang (Power), Simone Kessell (The Crossing), O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Uncut Gems director Benny Safdie. Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will reprise their prequel trilogy roles as young Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen Lars and Aunt Beru.

Nanjiani starred in Marvel’s widely acclaimed film, Eternals, which released on November 5, 2021. The richly diverse cast includes Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Don Lee and is directed by Two-Time Academy Award winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao.

Nanjiani and his wife Emily V. Gordon currently serve as executive producers on the Apple TV+ series Little America with Lee Eisenberg, Alan Yang, and Joshua Bearman. Season 2 is slated to release on December 9, 2022. Season 1 received nominations at the Independent Spirit Awards and BAFTA TV Awards. Each episode was inspired by true and poignant stories featured by Epic Magazine of immigrants in America covering politics and cultural division with a diverse group of emerging talent, bringing to life the funny, romantic, heartfelt, and surprising stories of immigrants in America. The show recently earned two nominations at the Independent Spirit Awards within the categories of ‘Best Male Performance in a Scripted Series’ and ‘Best New Scripted Series’ in addition to three nominations at the NAACP with two nominations for ‘Outstanding Writing in A Comedy Series’ and a nomination for ‘Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series.’

In early 2020, Nanjiani and his wife created their own podcast Staying In with Emily & Kumail while in quarantine, which was ranked among several Top 10 Podcasts lists in addition to receiving a People’s Choice Award nomination. The podcast is a fun conversation between these two writers where, they advise on many things like, how to stay calm and avoid cabin fever, offering fun entertainment recommendations, etc. Proceeds from the podcast went to charities helping those affected by COVID-19.

In 2017 Kumail and his wife Emily V.
