Rizwan Manji stars in NBC's new comedy series Outsourced as Rajiv Gidwani, the assistant manager of the Mid America Novelties call center in India, who dreams of someday taking over as manager in order to move out of his parents' house and get married. He is desperate for Todd (Ben Rappaport) to either succeed quickly or fail and go home, so he can replace him as the manager of the call center.
Prior to Outsourced, he was cast as a series regular in the ABC pilot "Fourplay" from executive producers David Kohan and Max Mutchnick ("Will ↦ Grace"). Recently Manji has been seen on "Glee," "How I Met Your Mother," and "Hawthorne," as well as recurring on "FlashForward," "Three Rivers," and "Better off Ted."
