Indians in American Cinema.....?

I thought it was time to take some pride in India. I started to think of the great Indian actors in American cinema (I am not following the bollywood scene).

The first one that comes to mind... the movie Gandhi.


But wait. That was played by BEn Kingsley... this guy:


Then there was Ben Jabituya, in the movie Short Circuit. Absolutely hilarious.

But a few years ago. I found out that guy was really Fisher Stevens... this guy.

What about Apu, from the Simpsons?

Nope. Thats Hank Azaria....


So, are there any Indian actors in American Cinema? This kind of reminds me of black face in the mid 19th century. Although, nobody is saying anything. Personally, I think its kind of funny. And really shows that Indians are lousy at acting.
