Roy Vongtama (C'96) plays "Tibetan" on History Channel show

Had this not been a busy week as well as me dealing with a (temporarily) disabled Facebook account, I would have said "Tivo alert!"

Dr. and actor Roy Vongtama (C'96) appeared on the History Channel's Decoding the Past: Tibetan Book of the Dead. He played a "spooked out Tibetan dude named Tenzin who dies and wakes up in the afterlife."

This already aired, but may come back in repeats. Check your local listings. Click here for more information

Also, watch out for Roy's appearance this summer as "Doctor Yang" in Warner Brother's The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, directed by Rob Reiner!
