Rizwan how he got from Calgary to Hollywood, how he stopped playing terrorists and started playing himself, how serious actors who have the knack for funny can make it, and how Jay needs to reconsider acting as a profession.
Bio: Rizwan Manji is one of Hollywood’s most respected TV and screen actors. He received a Best Guest Actor nomination for his portrayal of Ray Butani, Schitt’s Creek. Manji is perhaps best known for playing the hysterically officious, scheming assistant manager of a call center in the NBC comedy Outsourced. His film Mustache, a Pakistani-American, coming-of-age comedy-drama won the Audience Award in the Narrative Feature competition at SXSW. He will be seen next in Sony Affirm’s Journey to Bethlehem, a live-action, Christmas musical adventure. Other credits include: The Magicians, Mr. Robot, Arrested Development, Charlie Wilson's War, The Tiger Hunter, and Paterson.
