The Elephants in My Backyard | Rajiv Surendra | TEDxUofT

Rajiv Surendra will share the story of how he went from Mean Girls' Kevin G., to respected chalk artist, to a recently published author. His memoir "The Elephants in My Backyard" recounts his failed attempt to win the lead role in Life of Pi. It is an inspiring tale of taking risks and following one's dreams, of process and determination, and looking back on one's endeavors - be they successes or colossal defeats - with new appreciation and meaning.

Rajiv Surendra is a Canadian actor, artist, and writer and a University of Toronto alum. He is most known for portraying Kevin G. in the comedy Mean Girls, and for his 2016 book The Elephants in My Backyard, a memoir of his failed attempt to win the lead role in the 2012 film Life of Pi.
