Bhasker Patel's profile on IMDb starts with "Bhasker Patel was born on February 7, 1956 in Kampala, Uganda as Bhaskar Patel. He is an actor, known for Thunderbirds (2004) . . . "
From my childhood memories of Thunderbirds, I'd say that it would be essential for anyone appearing in it to have 'wooden' acting skills ;-)
