- Pop culture fans remember Rajiv Surendra (BA 2009 St. Mike’s) for his hilarious turn as Kevin G, the rapping “mathlete” in 2004’s smash hit Mean Girls. In Surendra’s new memoir, The Elephants in My Backyard,tells the story of his six-year-long attempt - and subsequent failure - to nab the lead role in Life of Pi.
Who knew Kevin G would become a renaissance man par excellence!
They should make a sitcom based on this fascinating young man.
i agree 100%
If he had played Pi , the movie would have been more successful…what a talent ! What charisma!!!
That's called being nice.
He is such a beautiful person, inside and out! I have been watching every video and snippet I can find on him. I’m so glad he’s getting his own show on Discovery Channel. Will take in every second of every episode. So happy for him and well deserved.
This gentleman is brilliant. Love his work, his style...
You don't do anything less than 100 percent. You are an inspiration.
Rajiv is such a gem
Much better to live your role than play another
Write your own story, it’s so much more interesting to be you
What an interesting life he must have 👍🏻❤️A true inspiration.
I admire your dedication to your art and the way you are living your life.
I recently came across your video by chance and have been watching as many as I have come across.
For purely selfish reasons I'm kinda glad he didn't get the part. I can't imagine a world where Rajiv didn't become exactly who he is today. His home decor and craft videos brings me so much joy.
Such a special and gifted person, that’s who Rajiv is!
Not achieving the role of Pi was not a failure; it was just a part of your journey and it enriched your life with experiences that you might otherwise not have experienced.
Such an inspiring man! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can't think of another person in my base of knowledge who lives life as fully and on purpose as Rajiv.
You are amazing..come on..inspiring others to keep moving thru life.
Rajiv, you are SO MUCH MORE than Pi! Your journey was for you, you just didn't know it at that time. Your journey was necessary. Look at who you are today. Your blessed! Your red carpet is still unrolling, smile! 📸
You are so creative and inspiring. Your uplifting me during a traumatic time. Goddess bless you!
More videos PLEASE! You’re an absolute treasure of a lost forgotten art! 👍🏼🙏🏽❤️
Rajiv is the coolest
You're a breath of fresh air! (And adorable).
RAJIV: You know…. that IF you produced a film based upon your book, then, you could utilize dream sequences in which YOU COULD BE “PI”, after all !!! Also, I feel like I know you. 😍
My favorite person.
Wow! I have to read this book.
I really admire your talents. You are great!!
I wish I saw that video on a few days or more in my life, but that's ok, doing a little reflecting now.
He’s simply the BEST! ♥️
HUGE director's mistake. The movie would have been so much better.
You went through that experience to make you who you are, you are an amazing person. God works in mysterious way.
2:47 WOW JUST WOW AND JUST THINK I TOOK CHALK FOR GRANTED 🤦🏾♀️ HE DESERVES IT ALL LOVE HIS NEW SHOW HOMEBOY SO TALENTED AND HANDSOME 👏🏾❤️👏🏾
Inspiring.
Amazing AF!
Did nobody get the length of this clip?
Wow. Thankyou x
If they do " Son of Pi" it's yours! I'm sure your alchemy will turn to gold at the right time.
You would have been perfect!
Hey, very well made and heart felt
Rajiv ended and continues in the perfect place at the perfect pace….
You didn’t faile You gain!❤️
That is his point, grasshopper.
❤❤❤❤
I wonder what Ang Lee thinks now, in the end Lee chose a school boy🤨
Intense and fun
would it help to know that you look like Little Richard and Prince if they could have had a baby together?
that is a racist comment... how can two black/african american people look like a tamil/south east asian person?
O what a shock to see you rubbing out your beautiful chalkboard drawing/front page of your book. But then, you’re so good at just doing it again. Or another one..
this video is broken I think, I can't watch but all other RUclips videos work :(
Oh my, how does the algorithm know where I go to school
i want to read his memoir
Math antusiasm , bad ass mc
I can’t buy or rent his memoir anywhere :(
But I love his calligraphy
Maybe he is just not made out to be a movie star
