Türkçe

biography:
Aziz Ismail Ansari, 23 Şubat 1983 tarihinde Columbia, Güney Carolina'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Hindistan'ın Tamil Nadu eyaletinden ABD'ye göç etmiş Müslüman bir ailenin (gastroenterolog bir baba ve kadın doğum uzmanı bir anne) oğlu olan Ansari, üniversite eğitimi için New York Üniversitesi Stern İşletme Okulu'na giderek pazarlama bölümünden mezun oldu. New York'ta yaşadığı bu dönemde stand-up komediye ilgi duymaya başladı ve ünlü Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) tiyatrosunda sahne alarak komedi dünyasına ilk adımlarını attı.

Erken dönem kariyerinde Rob Huebel ve Paul Scheer ile birlikte oluşturduğu eskiz komedi grubu "Human Giant" ile dikkat çekti. Grubun aynı adlı televizyon şovu 2007-2008 yılları arasında MTV'de yayınlandı ve Ansari'nin adını komedi çevrelerinde duyurmasını sağladı. Ayrıca bu dönemde "Funny People" (2009) ve "Observe and Report" (2009) gibi sinema filmlerinde küçük rollerde yer aldı. Ancak onu televizyon dünyasında geniş kitlelere tanıtan ve kariyerinde asıl dönüm noktası olan rol, NBC'nin sevilen durum komedisi "Parks and Recreation"da (2009-2015) canlandırdığı alaycı, bencil ama bir o kadar da sevimli hükümet çalışanı Tom Haverford karakteri oldu. Dizi boyunca sergilediği performansla büyük bir televizyon yıldızına dönüştü.

Televizyon kariyerinin yanı sıra stand-up komedi alanında da istikrarlı bir şekilde yükselen Ansari, "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening" (2010), "Dangerously Delicious" (2012) ve "Buried Alive" (2013) gibi övgü toplayan özel gösterilere imza attı. 2015 yılında Madison Square Garden'da kapalı gişe sahne alarak bu efsanevi salonda gösteri yapma başarısı gösteren nadir komedyenlerden biri oldu.

Ansari'nin kariyerini zirveye taşıyan ve ona eleştirel anlamda en büyük başarıyı getiren proje ise, Alan Yang ile birlikte yarattığı, yazdığı, yönettiği ve başrolünde yer aldığı Netflix dizisi "Master of None" (2015-günümüz) oldu. Modern yaşam, romantik ilişkiler, göçmenlik ve kültürel kimlik gibi temaları hem mizahi hem de melankolik bir dille işleyen dizi, Ansari'ye Komedi Dizilerinde En İyi Senaryo dalında iki Emmy Ödülü kazandırdı. Ayrıca dizideki performansıyla Müzikal veya Komedi Dalında En İyi Erkek Oyuncu Altın Küre Ödülü'nü (2018) kazanarak bu ödüle layık görülen ilk Asya kökenli Amerikalı aktör olarak tarihe geçti.

Kariyeri boyunca ilişkiler ve modern flört dinamiklerine duyduğu ilgiyi sosyolog Eric Klinenberg ile birlikte yazdığı "Modern Romance: An Investigation" (2015) adlı çok satan kitabıyla edebiyat dünyasına da taşıyan Ansari; "Right Now" (2019) ve "Nightclub Comedian" (2022) gibi Netflix stand-up özel gösterileriyle günümüz komedi dünyasının en yetenekli, gözlemci ve özgün seslerinden biri olmaya devam etmektedir.
