Danny Pudi, actor (Community, Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet).

My guest today is Danny Pudi, an American comedian and actor, who played the role of Abed Nadir in the long-running American sitcom Community. Born in Chicago, Illinois to a Polish mother and an Indian father, he studied communication and theatre at Marquette University in Milwaukee having won the inaugural Chris Farley Scholarship – an award that led him to perform improv comedy alongside Dave Chappelle.

In 2005 he moved to Los Angeles, and starred in several sitcom pilots before joining the cast of Community, in which he starred for six seasons. In 2017 my guest voiced Huey in the reboot of DuckTales. He has also provided cameo appearances in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Star Trek Beyond, as well as appearing in TV advertisements for the Far Cry series.

He currently plays Brad Bakshi, the head of the monetization department at a video game studio in the TV series Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet.
