A little more about "The Royal Tenenbaums":

The actor who plays Pagoda, the family's doorman/butler and friend of the matriarch is named Kumar Pallana, from India. My initial theory after leaving the movie involved his being a well-known Indian actor, just doing a bit part in this movie.

Well, I was a little bit off on that...

According to the Internet Movie Database, "[Pallana is the] former proprietor of the Cosmic Cup coffee shop on Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas where director Wes Anderson used to hang out."

*laugh* Okay, I wasn't even close with my theory!

He was also in 2 previous films directed by Anderson, "Rushmore" and "Bottle Rocket". All 3 of these movies were also co-written by Owen Wilson who plays "Eli" in Tenenbaums and feature Owen's brother Luke.

Finishing up the family connections, Pallana's son (Dipak) plays a small part in all the Anderson/Wilson films, as well. In Tenenbaums, he is the Indian doctor.
