Biography by AllMovie

Perhaps best known to Heroes viewers as genetics professor Mohinder Suresh, who begins to believe that normal people are being instilled with extraordinary powers while continuing his murdered father's work, actor Sendhil Ramamurthy got his breakthrough on the small-screen with a role on the U.K. war drama Ultimate Force, and went on to appear in such stateside shows as Grey's Anatomy and Numb3rs. Despite his success on television, it was on the stage that the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art graduate got his start, with roles in the Royal Shakespeare Company's West End production of A Servant to Two Masters and the Soho Repertory Theater production of Tom Stoppard's Indian Ink helping to establish Ramamurthy as a formidable stage presence.
