Biography

Kunal Nayyar, a renowned British actor, embarked on an extraordinary journey in 1999 when he relocated from India to the United States. His initial destination was Portland, Oregon, where he pursued a course of study in business.

As a means of forging new friendships and exploring his creative side, Kunal began acting in plays. He subsequently enrolled in acting classes, which further honed his skills and passion for the craft.

Despite his growing interest in acting, Kunal decided to maintain a sense of security by graduating from the University of Portland with a degree in business. This academic achievement served as a safety net, allowing him to fall back on his business acumen if his acting pursuits didn't pan out.

Undeterred by his dual pursuits, Kunal went on to earn a master's degree in fine arts from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This impressive academic feat demonstrated his dedication to his craft and willingness to continually challenge himself.

Kunal's professional journey took a significant turn when he secured a role with the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford, UK. This esteemed organization, renowned for its productions of Shakespeare's works, provided Kunal with invaluable experience and exposure.

In 2007, Kunal landed his breakthrough role in the hit television series The Big Bang Theory, just a year after graduating from Temple University. This remarkable achievement marked a turning point in his career, cementing his status as a talented and versatile actor.
