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.
