Maulik Pancholy, an actor best known for his role as Jack Donaghy’s assistant on 30 Rock , has come out as gay. Featured in this year’s issue of the Out100, Pancholy tells the magazine that he just enjoyed his nine-year anniversary with his partner and: “It feels like a nice time to be celebrating something like that, especially on the heels of the DOMA and Prop 8 decisions.” Pancholy also voices Baljeet on Phineas and Ferb and recurred over the year as Sanjay on Weeds . He has worked steadily since 2007 and says he always wanted to be an actor. One story in particular stands out as a moment when he became clear what his future held, as Pancholy tells Out he cut himself with a switchblade at a young age. And he responded to the incident in an unusual manner. “Instead of going for help and saying, ‘Hey, I cut my thumb, can I get a Band-Aid?’ I did a death scene in the bathroom. It was my big moment!” he said.
