The cast of 'Whiskey Cavalier' is very inclusive, and among the actors in the ABC dramedy is Indian comedian Vir Das. Das plays Jai Datta, an FBI agent who becomes part of Whiskey Cavalier and Fiery Tribune's team of supersleuths, and who helps them from time to time on their missions.

Many in the US would remember Das from his appearance on Conan O’Brien’s late-night show in November 2017, where according to the Indian comic, the host “very generously gave him five minutes to talk about 7 billion people”.

He had appeared earlier on the show in April the same year to mark the release of his comedy special 'Abroad Understanding,' Netflix's first ever Indian comedy special on 25 April, 2017.

Das, an actor, comedian, and YouTube personality, spent his early years in Nigeria before moving to the US for higher education. He obtained a bachelor's degree from Knox College, Illinois in Economics and Theatre with a concentration in performance and also saw him become a brother of Knox's Delta Theta chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity.
