My Take
Ramamurthy gave Heroes one of its most grounded presences as Mohinder, the scientist whose voiceovers literally framed the show's mythology. He brought warmth and gravitas to what could have been a dry exposition role, and his narration is honestly inseparable from my memory of that first season. It is great to see him keep working steadily, popping up in The Flash and bringing a wry charm as the dad on Never Have I Ever. He represents a wave of South Asian American actors who broke into mainstream genre TV, and he did it with quiet, dependable class.
