message: Since there is no such thing as "a typical Middle Eastern/South Asian person" (is there supposed to be something which typifies Israelis and Sri Lankans? Could we say on the Daily Show Jon Stewart plays a "typical American"?) I changed typical to stereotypical, which appears to be what was meant. John FitzGerald 14:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought I've concluded that maybe something else was meant. What it could be, though, I'm not sure. If it means only that he plays people not born in the United States, then typical is unnecessary and unjustified, and could simply be removed and the sentence modified to clarify that he plays people born outside the U. S. John FitzGerald 14:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: His IMDB page  says that he was born in 1966, not 1973.  Is there a citation for either? Mitch Patenaude 21:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Year of birth 

message: I seem to recall in his early days at the Daily Show, they'd give him a different fake eastern-sounding name every time they used him, making him appear to be stereotypically from whatever middle eastern country he was "reporting" from.  Now, they use the same name every time, which I have to assume is his real name, but I distinctly recall him being introduced by other names in the past.  Am I imagining it?  Or did this actually happen? Lurlock 17:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Mandvi had a cameo appearance in Law in Order in 2000. The episode is called "Honor"

message: I took out the stupid comments about his parents not liking him and it was sad to grow up with him. It's either irreverent, irrelevant or poorly written. 20:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Now this may just have been a one timer, but mr. Mandvi did voice act for the audiobook version of the Tales from the Crypt story "Fare Tonight," (which is apparently a wholly different version from the animated one?). I don't know if that's of enough significant to be mentioned, but as he has also done voice acting for Avatar: The Last Airbender, would it be appropriate to make a "Voice Acting" section?
Just a thought. Cheers. 93.166.114.170 (talk) 11:18, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I was confused by the statement:  "In November 2014, he appeared on the very popular The Dan Patrick Show. On the show he reviled a story from his book No Land's Man, that his father moved his family to the U.S. because the U.S. has brunch." Does the author mean "revealed", or "reviewed", or maybe just "read"? How did he "revile" his own story? And is Dan Patrick's show "very" popular? Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fraaklin (talk • contribs) 06:04, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
