UNC grad's real-life romantic comedy is getting national press


UNC graduate Ravi Patel never envisioned himself on the big screen. Now he’s being called an Academy Award contender. After an unsuccessful run as an investment banker, Patel turned to acting, and has been featured in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Scrubs.” He also co-founded the nonprofit This Bar Saves Lives with celebrities like Kristen Bell and Jimmy Kimmel. Now, he’s a documentary filmmaker. (Daily Tar Heel)
