Sunkrish Bala (ABC/Bob D’Amico)
The second season of [1] Notes from the Underbelly premiered this week, with a cast including Lisa Harris, Jennifer Westfeldt and Sunkrish Bala. (See “[2] Life of a Bala” in NIRALI for more on Sunkrish.) The bedroom scene in which he’s subjected to his wife’s efforts to unravel the secrets of their Burberry-clad French nanny’s swaddling technique is the highlight of Bala’s limited on-screen time in this episode.
Not sure what [3] swaddling is or why it would strike fear into the hearts of new parents? Join the club. “How hard is a swaddle?” asks the show’s expecting mother. “It’s like giving an angry cat a bath when you’re drunk,” answers [4] Melanie Paxson, who plays his wife.
[5] In a recent interview, Bala talked about what he looks for in a girl, entertaining the babies on set, and his character Eric.
Yeah, Eric and Julie are just those obnoxious parents next door that you don’t want to talk to. Our world is about our baby – the “Mommy and Me” and “Music and Me” classes and waterbabies. It’s like we did this before we had our child, and now our life is consumed by it. It’s a little gross.
Everyone always asks me, what does Eric do for a living on your show?
You know, it’s such a mystery. No one knows and everyone speculates. I know he’s incredibly wealthy, so it’s something that pays a lot of money. That’s all that’s ever been made clear to me.
Any guesses?
He’s definitely like an I-banker or a finance guy. Eric’s so square and boring, but he’s richer than I will ever be in my life!
Maybe he’s a super spy?
You know what, I like that. Eric’s a super spy, and no one knows it, he’s that’s ultra smooth. ([6] OK! Magazine)
