He’s done handful of movie projects including ‘Aliens in the Attic’, ‘Get Smart’, ‘Happy Gilmore’, ‘The Wedding Singer’, ‘Anger Management’ and ‘Daddy Day Care’. He is currently focusing on the small screen with a popular fixture of Weeds as well as the title character’s voice in the Nickelodeon animated series Glenn Martin DDS.
