Sugith Varughese (born 1958) is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India]n-born [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian Canadian] writer, director and actor.

Born in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochin Cochin], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala Kerala], into a Syrian Christian family ("Varughese," also sometimes spelled "Varghese" and "Verghese" and variously pronounced, is Syriac for "George"), Neither the famous Dr [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Verghese Abraham Verghese] nor the American stand-up comedian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Varghese Paul Varghese], both also of Malayali Syrian Christian backgrounds, is necessarily any relation of Sugith Varughese: Malayali Syrian Christians do not have public family names (they have "house" names) and their putative surnames are simply their fathers' Christian names. He immigrated to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon Saskatoon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan Saskatchewan] as a child when his neurosurgeon father obtained a professional appointment there. His family's native language is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam Malayalam]; having grown up in anglophone western Canada he naturally speaks English with a Canadian accent but from time to time affects an assortment of South Asian accents when playing dramatic roles that call for them.
