Deep Roy Early Life

Born Mohinder Singh Purba under the sign of Sagittarius on 1 December 1957, in Nairobi, Kenya, also known as Gurdeep Roy, –

There still isn’t enough information to reveal what his early interests were across credible sources, though there is the fact that he came into adulthood wanting to be a world-famous comedian, so a passion for showmanship seems very likely in this case.

As for his education, Roy attended an unspecified high school in Nairobi, from where he matriculated around 1967. His family then moved to London, England, so that Roy could have the opportunity to study accountancy, according to his father’s wishes.

However, the young man had something entirely different in mind, and he refused his father’s funding for a college education in order to make an attempt at comedy. His father was outraged, but Roy was as determined as ever, and to this day, he is yet to attend college. Still, he did get an education at The Slim Wood School of Comedy, from where he graduated at an unspecified date.

Deep Roy Parents

Roy was originally brought up right where he was born by his Indian father, who was a household décor dealer, and his mother of an unknown profession, both of still unspecified names.

Deep Roy Siblings

Regarding any siblings he may have had, he is apparently an only child.

Deep Roy Career

He is perhaps best known to the world for his significant presence on the TV screen and across the many media outlets due to his numerous roles, most prominently for having his appearance cloned and multiplied in order to star as the 165 Oompa Loompas in the 2005 musical fantasy film entitled “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.

He has also had a number of other successes over the course of his often lucrative acting career since 1976.

While in comedy school, Roy began doing stand-ups at nearby cabaret clubs around 1969. In 1970, he had the honor of opening on the London stage of Palace Theatre, Westcliff-on-Sea’s Ray Cooney’s Miracle Worker.

For a few years after graduating from the comedy school, Roy remained a stand-up comedian with a relatively well-established presence, though he was at that moment yet to achieve true success.

Fortunately, he was successful in two auditions in 1976 and made both his TV series and film debut in the same year – starring as Klokoe in an episode of “The New Avengers” entitled “Target!”, and as an Italian assassin in “The Pink Panther Strikes Again”.

In 1977, he set a career milestone by obtaining a role in as many as six episodes of the wildly popular TV series entitled “Doctor Who”. He was seen in “Benji’s Very Own Christmas Story” in 1978 for his short film debut, and he also appeared in an episode of “Blake’s 7”, in which he starred again in 1979 and 1980.

In 1979, he was seen as Van Bullock in “Roots of Evil”, as well as Midget in “Undercover Lover”, while 1980 showed him as Princess Aura’s Pet in “Flash Gordon”.

He had three roles in 2013, the most important of which is his reappearance as Keenser in “Star Trek Into Darkness”. After a role in 2014 and a break in 2015, he was Keenser one more time in “Star Trek Beyond” in 2016.
