Many of you may have not heard of Danny Pudi but now you will! After guest starring on various TV shows such as ER, Gilmore Girls, and Greek, Pudi has made it to a main cast in the new NBC comedy series Community. If you don’t watch any of those shows, you may recognize him as the famous “butt dialer” in a T-Mobile commercial.

In Community, Pudi plays a fast-talking, pop culture junkie named Abed who is trying to survive college with his buddies. He stars side-to-side with Joel McHale (The Soup) and Chevy Chase (Saturday Night Live). If you’ve never seen Pudi in action, now is the time to check him out in this new hilarious series.

You can say that Danny Pudi is not only an actor but a comedian too. He’s been a part of a few comedy groups including Stir-Friday Night! (all Asian comedy troupe) and Siblings of Doctors, which he created himself. When Pudi is not acting, he runs, plays Yahtzee, vacuums and drinks coffee - all of which he enjoys doing.

Here’s a video previewing the show and showcasing some of Pudi’s acting.
