In 2014–15, he appeared in the role of Marc Maron's eccentric neighbor, Bernie, in the IFC comedy series Maron. In film, his roles include Top Five by Chris Rock, portraying T-Rick in the movie Project X, and acting in the German comedy Timeless. His known TV role is as Jerry in Lucky Louie by Louis C.K. on HBO. Additionally, he appears in a scene originally filmed for the pilot of Louie.
