Goundamani is one of the most famous Tamil comedians.
Goundamani, like most actors from his era, gained entry into the Tamil film industry [Kollywood] due to his strong theatrical background. Known as Mani initially, he was later renamed KounderMani due to his excellent portrayal of a "Kounder" in one of his early plays. KounderMani or Koundamani was then corrupted into [Goundamani] .This name had also come since he belonged to the Gounder clan.His native place is Kengambalayam Taluk of Coimbatore district.
Goundamani was initially a solo act and then paired up with another comedian Senthil to form a comedy duo. Stated as Kollywood's Laurel and Hardy, Senthil and Goundamani have entertained people with their rib-tickling slapstick humour for more than two decades now.

[edit] Film career
Goundamani has entertained two generations of Tamil people with his unique style of comedy. His dialogues are woven with sarcasm and contempt. His dialogue delivery is perfect and is accompanied with impeccable body language. His most famous piece of comedy is the "Vazhaipazham" (Banana) joke with Senthil, in the film Karagaatakkaran. He is a household name in Tamil Nadu; his jokes cater to every age-group and class of audience.
He has also been the hero or the main protagonist of movies such as Raja Enga Raja and Pirandhaen Valarndhaen. These movies turned out to be good family entertainers and comedies.He acted as Hero in 10 films.
Some of his memorable movies are with lead actors such as Sathyaraj, Karthik, Rajinikanth, Arjun, Jayaram, and Prabhu. In several Tamil films, he has even accompanied the lead actor in almost all of the scenes (sometimes even in the songs).
Early days in his career he had a memorable role in 'Padhinaru vayadinile' as a sidekick. Later in early 80's he had several hits like Unnai nan santhithen, Vaidhegi kathirundal, etc. Late eighties his career got revived in 'Karagatakkaran' after a long slump, which can be attributed to comedians like Janakaraj. In the 90's his career peaked in such a way that it was hard to make a hit Tamil film without him. Later his career flagged, largely due to illness, including kidney stones and Jaundice.
In many movies he would deliver dialogs with double meaning (double entendre).
