Tiya Sircar (born May 16, 1982) is an American actress, known for her role as "Real Eleanor"/Vicky in The Good Place (2016–2020). She also provided the voice for Sabine Wren in Disney XD's Star Wars Rebels (2014–2018), played Rooni Schuman in ABC's Alex, Inc. (2018) and co-starred in The Internship (2013).
Born and raised in Arlington, Texas, Sircar is the daughter of Bengali college professors from Kolkata, West Bengal, India. She took dancing and acting classes at a young age. She attended Ditto Elementary School and Martin High School, graduating in 2000. She then attended the University of Texas at Austin, during which time she interned at BLVD Talent Agency, which would go on to act as her first talent agency. The summer before her senior year, she was a tour guide in Rome. Sircar graduated with a BBA in Business/Marketing and a bachelor's in Theater & Dance. After graduation, she worked in sales at Dell before moving to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career.
Sircar's television appearances include Master of None, House, M.D., Hannah Montana, Greek, Moonlight, Numbers, Privileged, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and she has played recurring characters on The Suite Life on Deck and The Good Place. In 2008, she played a Mac Genius as part of Apple's national ad campaign. The following year, she voiced an animated character for the Disney show Phineas & Ferb. She was cast in New Line Cinema's 17 Again as "Samantha"–a high school senior with a crush on the lead character played by Zac Efron.
Sircar also appeared in the 2013 theatrical release The Internship, comedy also starring Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Rose Byrne. Sircar has stated that she often gets cast as ethnically ambiguous characters because she is not "Indian enough".
Sircar's voice acting for animation include the feature film Walking with Dinosaurs 3D and the television series Star Wars Rebels, which began airing on Disney XD in October 2014. Sircar provides the voice of Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian graffiti artist and explosives expert.
On March 24, 2014, it was announced that Sircar would star in the CBS/FOX pilot How I Met Your Dad, a spinoff of the successful How I Met Your Mother; however, CBS passed on the proposed project.
Sircar had a prominent role in the cast of the 2016 comedy television series The Good Place as Vicky, an ambitious demon (in a human suit the whole time), who develops a passion for acting after her superior demons order her to deceive and manipulate the protagonists using various pseudonyms and made-up scenarios.
In 2018, Sircar began a starring role opposite Zach Braff in ABC's Alex, Inc. The series was cancelled after one season. Sircar subsequently led the Netflix feature film Good Sam in 2019.
