Yep. IMDB tells me that his name is actually "Kumar Pallana" - it's the guy that Wes Anderson keeps using in Rushmore (Mr. LittleJeans) & The Royal Tenenbaums (Pagoda).

Looks like Wes is gonna use him again in the upcoming The Life Aquatic (along with a lot of his favorite other cast members) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362270/

IMDB says that Kumar was the "Former proprietor of the Cosmic Cup coffee shop on Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas where director Wes Anderson used to hang out."

Haha!
