My Take

Rizwan Manji is one of those actors who quietly makes everything better. A Toronto-born performer who is also a voice artist, ventriloquist, and comedian, he has range that most leading men would envy. His Ray Butani on Schitt's Creek is a small masterclass in being pushy yet endearing, and from Outsourced to Peacemaker he keeps finding the funny in the margins. What I admire most is how he carved out a lasting place in Hollywood as a South Asian-Canadian character actor through sheer craft. He is the rare supporting player whose presence I actively look forward to in any cast.

Overview

Rizwan Manji (born October 17, 1974) is a Canadian actor, voice artist, ventriloquist, and comedian. He portrayed Ray Butani on Schitt's Creek, Tick Pickwick on The Magicians, Rajiv Gidwani in the NBC sitcom Outsourced, and Jamil in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) television series Peacemaker (2022–present).
