Actor, kumailn, known for comedy, leads Hulu's true-crime miniseries based on the real story of Chippendales founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee.
“What resonated with me most about [Banerjee] was that he’s the king of a world that would not have him unless he was the king,” Nanjiani says. “I saw a picture of him with the Chippendale dancers, and it’s like this pudgy, brown, bespectacled nerd with all these white Adonises. He feels like he doesn’t fit in this club.”
“I was initially a little intimidated to do something like [‘Welcome to Chippendales’],” Nanjiani says. “Up until ‘The Big Sick’ everything I had done was me trying to be as funny as I could,” he adds. “I found reasons to say no at that time, but honestly I think looking back I was just kind of scared to take it on. At that point, I didn’t think I knew how to take on a character like this who was so complicated.
Nanjiani was aware that his portrayal would serve as many viewers’ first introduction to Banerjee; there were no pre-existing character expectations or tropes to hit. He approached the role as it was written in the script, and notes that it took a long time to figure out his way into the character. The actor credits many long walks with Gordon talking about the character in relation to people they knew, and his acting teacher, for helping him unlock his Banerjee.
