Things You Can Watch on Your Computer:
Back on Topps – PLEASE check out the Sklar Brothers’ hilarious 2 seasons of their show about one of the world’s most recognizable sports companies. When The Topps Company falls into new ownership, sport-loving twin brothers Leyland and Leif Topps face a challenge in their new work environment. These former heirs must prove to their new boss that they are indeed worthy and valuable to the sports and card world, and in doing so they might just land… Back on Topps. I play their assistant. With a serious attitude.
Republicrats – Sean Masterson created an amazing series about a third party candidate during the presidential elections that kind of blew my mind. I play his conniving press secretary.
College Humor – Do you love The Bachelor, but wish it had more children, starving for love? Then you might enjoy this sketch I did in entirely poor taste with the guys of College Humor.
