Coming straight off the red carpet at the Annual MIAAC Film Festival for his critically acclaimed films Ashes and The Waiting City, Samrat Chakrabarti is heading straight for more limelight with screen time on NBC’s comedy series, “30 Rock”. Starring with Alec Baldwin on Thursday November 18th at 8:30pm, Samrat will take a turn from his dramatic roles in his heavy hitting films, to portray a comical guy with a lot of guts!
“30 Rock’s” episode called, “College” starts off with Alec Baldwin’s character, Jack being excited about microwave sales going up without his assistance, which in turn results in him questioning whether or not there is a glitch with the microwave design. Samrat describes his character Ramesh as, “the head microwave department guy with a combative personality”. As a result of their personalities, Jack and Ramesh bump heads regarding the quality of the microwaves, as well as Jack’s role in the company. Samrat’s role on the show is basically of this humorous guy who as Samrat explains is “a character that is a goofy lab rat who stands up to Baldwin”. His humor consists of social commentary that can be considered a funny twist on “reverse racism”.
In case you miss this tummy-tickling episode on Thursday night, you can definitely catch Samrat with Alec Baldwin’s chemistry filled comedy episode on Hulu or NBC.com.
