50 of the most charming actors in film and television
22. Aziz Ansari
Tom Haverford may have annoyed some people but those people don’t know charm when they see it. And Aziz Ansari has an abundance of it. Famous for his stand-up and his work as a comedian, Aziz now stars in Masters of None which he created.
But he’s one of those guys that just seems like he can talk to anyone and everyone. No matter who you are or where you’re from, he can find something of interest to talk to you about. And that’s really a rare quality for actors to have.
With his role on Parks and Recreation, Aziz brought to life Tom Haverford. For those who haven’t watched the show, Tom is someone obsessed with himself and his presence but as the series goes on, he learned how to be better for his friends and loved ones.
The character grew and we all ended up loving him because of the writing but mainly because of Aziz’s portrayal of Tom. He was very much what we’ve come to know Aziz for and the character became a second vision of Aziz. And we love him for it and for his charm. So to Aziz, may you continue to charm our way into our television sets.
