Add to My Profile | More Videos Here is a video I did for my friend TJ Miller on blerds.com... Blerds is a great website and a wonderful idea. A bunch of teriffic stand-ups have joined forces to put their favorite bits on film with visual accompaniment and stuck it all together on a website for all to enjoy. Look for TJ on TV this fall! He just booked a sitcom on ABC! THEN watch for a bunch more movies we've been making that haven't been released yet. Then watch me give hand-jobs to strangers for my rent money. Just checking to see if anyone was reading this... You won't get the last joke in this video unless you go to blerds.com and watch "DRAWN" first, but I hope you still enjoy it if you don't go there first. Blerds.come: Chocolate Covered Cherries
Add to My Profile | More Videos Here is a clip from the episode of Sports Action Team I was lucky enough to participate in. If you see me hysterically crying in the background of any of the scenes, it's because my character was supposed to have been broken up with on the air while working telethon lines. Now I like to think I'm sobbing uncontrollably because my bit got cut. Needless to say, enjoy. Here is a video I did for ThoseGuysfilms.com. These guys are talented beyond their years. We were kicked out of the shoot site in the thick of shooting and I can't even tell from looking at the footage. The Need To Win
Add to My Profile | More VideosThis is the general trailer to a website I participated in for TJ Miller called verybadporn.com. If you go to the site, you can see me and Katie Nahnsen having a totally hot roommates 3-some with Chelsea Humboldt, our version. .. width="425" height="350">..........> Here is a little video I did for Second City Communications last year.
