Sendhil Ramamurthy

Sendhil Ramamurthy is an American actor who turned to acting after setting aside plans to study medicine. He was born in Chicago to parents who had emigrated from India and was raised in San Antonio, studied history at Tufts University, where an introductory acting class led him toward performance, and trained in London at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, graduating in 1998. On stage he has appeared in Indian Ink at the Soho Repertory Theatre, in East Is East for the Manhattan Theatre Club and in A Servant of Two Masters in the West End. His film credits include Shor in the City (2010) and It's a Wonderful Afterlife, and he became best known as the geneticist Mohinder Suresh in the NBC science fiction drama Heroes, a part originally written for a much older actor and rewritten for him. He has also appeared in Covert Affairs, Beauty and the Beast, The Flash and Never Have I Ever.
