My Take
Brar is one of those Disney Channel kids who actually had real comic timing, and his Ravi on Jessie was a genuine highlight, all deadpan delivery and gentle warmth that kept the show grounded. Coming out of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid films, he carved out a recognizable niche as a South Asian American performer in a space that didn't have many. I've also respected how openly he's talked about mental health and the pressures of growing up on camera, which takes guts for someone who started so young. He's clearly trying to graduate into more mature work, and I'm curious to see where he lands as an adult actor.
