Maulik Pancholy, an actor best known for his role as Jack Donaghy's assistant on 30 Rock, has come out as gay.
Featured in this year's issue of the Out100, Pancholy tells the magazine that he just enjoyed his nine-year anniversary with his partner and:
“It feels like a nice time to be celebrating something like that, especially on the heels of the DOMA and Prop 8 decisions.â€
Pancholy also voices Baljeet on Phineas and Ferb and recurred over the year as Sanjay on Weeds.
He has worked steadily since 2007 and says he always wanted to be an actor.
One story in particular stands out as a moment when he became clear what his future held, as Pancholy tells Out he cut himself with a switchblade at a young age. And he responded to the incident in an unusual manner.
“Instead of going for help and saying, ‘Hey, I cut my thumb, can I get a Band-Aid?’ I did a death scene in the bathroom. It was my big moment!†he said.
