ABOUT THE CHARACTERS VOICES
=========================================================
Atul N. Rao as Swaroop Shukla
From puppetry to Animation to live sketch comedy, Atul has often
been a voice behind his own creations. Performing puppetry and
voice in his own short film for Family Channel opened the door
for Atul to co-host his own live show on YTV Canada for four
years. For Fox Family Channel interstitials, he performed in
various animated and live-action shorts as actor, voice over
artist and puppeteer.
Aashna (Patel)
as "Ajee"
Starting as a comedy actress and host from Canada's YTV, Aashna
has also been a reporter for CNN, and a host on the TV guide
channel. Her eclectic activities include a self-titled CD, and
the singing national anthems for the NBA and Major League baseball.
Aashna's hilarious interpretation of the Grandmother gives the
character a strong and gutsy personality.

Brian George
as Bharat Shukla
A veteran actor of stage and screen, Brian is well known for
his role as Babu in various episodes of "Seinfeld". Brian's
British/Indian heritage brings a unique sense of humor to the
role of Swaroop's father. He handles it with sensitivity and
a light-hearted disposition.
Veena Bidasha
as Neela Shukla
With extensive experience in Film, Television, Theatre and multi-media,
Veena brings her finely crafted talents to the role of Neela.
Her accomplishments as a vocalist come through with her lyrical
line deliveries allowing a light musical quality to Swaroop's
mother.
Nick (Deepak)
Jain as Balik Shukla
A graduate of New York's famed Actor's Studio, Nick has performed
extensive theatre in Toronto and New York before heading to
L.A. As Swaroop's hipster brother, Nick portrays a character
too eager to find his groove in American pop culture.
Quinton Flynn
as (Mr.) Steve
No stranger to cartoons, Quinton's voice has brought life to
characters in Jonny Quest, Animaniacs, Hey Arnold and Woody
Woodpecker. Currently, Quinton can be heard as Timon on Disney's,
"Timon and Pumba". In "Bovine Bliss", Quinton's brings an eerie
believability to the obtuse character of Mr. Steve.
Frank Welker as Sacred Cow
From "Scooby Doo" to "Babe" Frank is the top animal voice artist
in Hollywood. Not limited to animals, he's also done many guest
voices on "The Simpsons". In his portrayal of "Sacred Cow" he
skillfully balances the sound of an actual cow with the anthropomorphic
expressions of a comic foil.
