Actor
Hollywood, CA

Biography:
Anjali Bhimani is an actor, author, producer, and TTRPG player who first began playing D&D at the ripe old age of eight, when her older brother gave her the basic rules set. From then on, she devoured the 2nd edition books and won the 4th grade spelling bee thanks to them (being the only 9 year old in her class who could spell vengeance). An award winning actress and bestselling author, she has worked across multiple media for decades, from Broadway to television, film to video games, animated series to actual play series and more. She played the chatty "llluminauntie" Auntie Ruby in Ms. Marvel on Disney Plus (for which she was nomination for an HCA Astra award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series) as well as recurring appearances in Dead to Me, Blindspot, Law & Order:SVU, Grace & Frankie, and many more. Video gaming audiences know her worldwide as the voice of the light-bending Symmetra in Overwatch and Overwatch 2, the irreverent Rampart in Apex legends, Nisha in Fallout 4:Nuka World, Medusa in Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and more.

She has appeared in many TTRPG actual play series including Candela Obscura, Exandria Unlimited, and Exandria Unlimited: Kymal with Critical Role; Dimension 20: The Ravening War on Dropout; Shadowrun: Excommunication with RealmSmith for Catalyst Game Studios, We're Alive: Frontier on Geek and Sundry and most recently, DesiQuest, a Dungeons and Dragons actual play series set in a fantasy world inspired by the mythology and culture of India and created by DM Jasmine Bhullar. A staunch proponent of diversity and inclusion, Anjali also became a bestselling author when her book, I Am Fun Size and So Are You: Thoughts from a Tiny Human on Building a Giant Life (based on her hit YouTube series of the same name) hit #5 on the Wall Street Journal Bestseller list along with #1 in 7 categories on Amazon and the Barnes & Noble Press Best Of E-Books in 2022.

Her favorite roles of all time include proud dog mom of Charley the Best Dog (also an avid D&D player who saved the Universe from mind flayers in his most recent Spelljammer one shot) and partner in crime to her rock star husband, Rick (who she falls even more in love with when he opened up a box of books from high school recently and pulled out his original AD&D books from the 80s to replace hers that her mother tragically gave away in the Great and Terrible House Cleaning of 1992).
