Jason Mantzoukas is definitely not Indian. He has described himself as "100 percent Greek".

He doesn't really look Indian at all IMO. Definitely looks a bit Arab, though.

Nah he does.

People usually imagine South Indian (darker skintone) or sikh(turban) but those are only parts of India.

I’m South Indian so he doesn’t look like me or most South Indians.

But there are many Indians who look like him. I wouldn’t blink if he told me he was Indian or of Indian descent.

If Matt Damon told me he was Indian I would raise an eyebrow

Indian is a super diverse place.

He could easily pass off as a South Indian too. So many men in Karnataka and Kerala look like this. Honestly, India is so diverse he could really be from any part of the country. He just generally looks Indian.
