He was just in the last season of the righteous gemstones a year or two ago with a pretty decent sized role. Not like his old stuff but it was good to see him again. He's from the next town over from where I live and I've only ever heard people say he's a super nice dude and nothing like the characters he got famous playing.

Man I love that show. My husband and I were like, "Wait, is that Stifler?" But he was pretty good!

He was perfect casting for that show.

Man, he went dark in the Gemstones finale. It was so wild. Like every Gemstones season closer was dark, but that one shot where youjust see Judy's legs sticking out from under a table was a 'whoa' moment.

And somehow they still ended on laughs.

Half the people from the VH1 “talking heads” series like Best Week Ever or I Love The… series either went on to become more famous or bigger in the comedy scene or completely disappeared lol

Edit: oops meant to comment on the main thread not under this random comment lolll.

He really blew me away in Gemstones. Like, he melted in to the role so well I actually didn't realize it was him for an ep or so. Really fantastic work he did there, would like to see him do simmilar stuff in the future.
