We've got the fabulous Parvesh Cheena here, once again on the gaysian movie beat! This time around, it's Andrew Ahn's THE WEDDING BANQUET, which reimagines and modernizes the core story of a nearly unseeable 1993 Ang Lee film (maybe try your local library?).

Star of stage and screen, film and television, voice over and live action, Parvesh Cheena's list of credits is expansive -- and you've almost certainly seen or heard him  in SOMETHING (Barbershop? Outsourced? Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Mythic Quest? The Mandalorian?). Parvesh has carved out a place for himself as a character actor -- a position that has at times been a little lonely, and a little strange. As for seeing himself on screen? Even as a kid, he looked to some of the biggest, weirdest characters of them all: Danny Devito's Penguin in BATMAN RETURNS and Mike Myers as Dr. Evil in the AUSTIN POWERS movies.Michelle Pfeiffer whip stuntNiecy Nash-Betts's Emmys acceptance speech***With Jordan Crucchiola and Parvesh Cheena

The Non Drinking Buddies talk to actor Parvesh Cheena about useful tools for staying alcohol-free, harm reduction and cannabis usage. Note: When discussing Michael Pollan and hallucinogenic plants, Anne incorrectly mentioned “Paul Mescal” as a smokable plant. She meant “peyote” which sounds NOTHING like Paul Mescal who is an Irish actor. Maybe she meant “mescaline” which is a psychoactive alkaloid in peyote, but probably not.

Today's Guest: Parvesh Cheena, actor, "Outsourced" Anisha Nagarajan and Parvesh Cheena, stars of NBC's 'Outsourced' Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of people who may think they can top my Whack-a-Gupta score of 725… in the new new media capitol of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! A few things I learned about “Gupta,” perhaps the nuttiest sitcom character on network TV in years: • He can’t drive. Not a bike, not a car. • He likes to watch. His boss. In bed. Sleeping. Not sleeping. • He loves the break room cookies. Sorry, Madhuri. Order from Amazon.com by clicking the DVD cover above! • He looks a lot like his glasses-wearing cousin. • He knows how to wear a giant ear and spy on his bosses. • And he can break into Bollywood-style song and dance at a moment’s notice. When “Outsourced” debuted on NBC last September, I have no doubt that Gupta – played to perfection by actor Parvesh Cheena – was one of the characters that set the tongues of TV critics wagging. He was a stereotype and not a good one at that they thought! But given some space to become a three-dimensional figure, Gupta was discovered to be the essence of sweetness, with a few necessary quirks. He could just as easily have been Kenneth the Page on “30 Rock” or even Creed on “The Office.” PARVESH CHEENA podcast excerpt: "I secretly always thought Gupta would one day be with Madhuri in a spinoff: 'Madhuri Tolerates Gupta.' As opposed to 'Joanie Loves Chachi.'" And as the actor playing Gupta, Cheena – like his goofy, guileless counterparts on other NBC Thursday night shows – had to let go of all inhibitions. He succeeded magnificently.

In this discussion episode about our time with Parvesh Cheena, we start of with a realization I had about my energy in the interview. Akaash and I discuss this sense that I was seeking something specific from the interview and not allowing it to just develop. I come to understand that I was looking for Parvesh to become an advocate for something that may no longer need it. We explore the root of that and discuss the possible reality that we can the world is a much better place for the gay community and we should become excited for this future generation that will guide us into a space of further openness and compassion. We then continue talking about how we want our American Desi community to be inclusive and that the politics of exclusion should not be tolerated. We then move into community and discuss the tweets and emails we have received. One of them harkened back to our live panel at USC and gave us the opportunity to talk about overlapping communities and how this concept can free some of the ethical pressure that surrounds the intrinsic exclusion that occurs when a community is formed. We can create an American Desis community that is centered around our “desi-ness” because there are other communities that focus on religion or dance or sports. We also get an email from a white man about race that triggers some conflict for Akaash, and then later Arjun makes some stupid jokes and says “hoes.” Listen. we called it swings and misses for a reason folks. Listen and enjoy!

You may know him from his role as Gupta on NBC’s Outsourced; or maybe you know him from his time in theatre; or maybe you just know him because he's the kind of guy that everybody knows. We know him as all of the above, but especially our guest. This week we are so glad Parvesh Cheena could come sit down with us and chat. Now on this show we have had interviews that were more formal and guests that were casual, but Parvesh was easily our most relaxed. He is truly an open and generous guy who spoke with us about anything and everything that came up in our conversation. But just because it was relaxed, doesn’t mean we didn’t have some true debate. The episode starts off with us on different sides of the plane regarding community. Parvesh advocates for a larger sense of community: a global community. Akaash strongly believes in the standpoint of a Desi/American Desi community. I, Arjun, am still figuring it out and kinda play both sides. But we begin by diving deeply into unpacking what a global community means. Parvesh is far too interesting and expansive for us to simply stay on one topic so we move into technology, traveling to India, music we grew up on, proper ways of cuddling, and theatre, all before we reached talking about how his homosexuality affected him in this community and his journey growing up. I truly don’t want to say much more than that because I want you guys to just sit back and enjoy. I hope you have as much fun listening as we did doing this episode. As always we are going to do our discussion in a few days so get at us with your thoughts, we love talking about them. Enjoy.
