Who Is Her Husband Danny Pudi?
Before we talk about Bridget, we have to talk about her celebrity husband. After all, he is the reason we know a thing or two about Bridget. He is the one who made her famous.
Born in March 1979, Danny Pudi is an American actor, mostly known for his role as Abed Nadir on the NBC sitcom Community. He was born Daniel Mark Pudi, but later adopted the stage name, Danny Pudi.
For his role in Community, he has received three nominations for the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Daniel Mark Pudi was born in Chicago, as the son of programmer and analyst Teresa Pudi and Abraham Pudi. His parents immigrated to the United States of America when they were young. For example, his mother came from a village in Poland, while his father came from a village in India. His father was from a Telugu-Christian family.
As a young boy, Pudi grew up speaking Polish with his mother and grandmother. Pudi grew up on the South Side of Chicago with his brother Adam Pudi and sister Katherine Pudi.
He studied dance in Chicago and attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There, he graduated with a degree in communication and theatre in 2001. Fun fact: he was the first winner of the Chris Farley Scholarship at Marquette.
Following his graduation, he performed in summer stock theatre in Wisconsin. He began his career by joining Stir Friday Night, a sketch comedy ensemble of Asian-American performers.
In 2005, he moved to Los Angeles looking to pursue an acting career and seek television and film roles. Because he worked a remote job at the time, he could attend auditions and avoid the “struggling actor” challenge.
Before joining the cast of Community in 2009, he performed in several television pilots. But Community is the television series that helped him gain recognition.
Some of the movies he appeared in include Road Trip: Beer Pong, Knights of Badassdom, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (cameo appearance), The Tiger Hunter, and voiced Huey Duck in the DuckTales Reboot.
Since 2020, he portrays Brad Bakshi in the Apple TV comedy television series Mythic Quest.
