    Shashi Tharoor Acted in Mira Nair's Antony and Cleopatra in 1974, Studied in St Stephens College and of course MP from Thiruvananthapuram. For me the first giveaway was the Stephens facade, connecting that to Trivandrum made it an obvious answer and the quizzer bit helped too.

    Answer: Shashi Tharoor

    Shashi Tharoor was an actor in his school days and played the role of Antony in Mira Nair's "Cleopatra(1974)". In the first picture, this is depicted by the inset pic of Mira Nair.

    The second pic is that of St.Stephen's College. Shashi tharoor received his B.A degree in history from St.Stephen's. He was an avid quizzer in his college days and founded the quiz club at St.Stephen's college which is still in existence.

    He is a member of the Indian Parliament from the thiruvananthapuram(which is where his residence is now) constituency which is shown by the 3rd pic.

    Hence the complete connect to Shashi Tharoor. As the note rightly points, we did look for a good quizzer :-).
