    Hello to everyone interested! Thanks for stopping by. Lately, Adhir Kalyan was called "one of his favorite young actors" by EW's Michael Ausiello (source: click) who stated: Talk about a dilemma: One of my favorite young actors, Aliens in America's Adhir Kalyan, is joining the castMore of one of my least favorite comedies, CBS' Rules of Engagement . He'll be appearing in the recurring role of David Spade's new assistant, Timmy. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I may have to give this show one more chance. God help me. What do you think of Adhir Kalyan, did you like him playing Raja, the Muslim exchange student in Aliens in America? Did you know that he fakes the accent and isn't from Pakistan?
