Name that Actor

Post by mister d »

I spent the last 21 hours trying to find the name of an actor that a local dad reminded me of. I just got it but let’s see if you guys could have helped:

- white guy
- awkward comedy, kind of plays/played an inattentive or aloof guy maybe?
- short dark hair, I think usually clean shaven
- probably short
- no lead roles to my knowledge
- seems Canadian?

Fred Stoller fits these descriptions to a T, though he's from Illinois.

Not being familiar with any comedies from the last 20 years, I’d say Michael Hitchcock, but he’s also tall

I’m not 100% opposed to the concept. I was definitely disappointed by that series of films.

(I've never seen Brooklyn 99 so I was trying to remember the weird guy from Superbad.)

Yea, I have that weird ability to recall info like this.

I too was like "Weird guy from Superbad. Oh yea, dude from Brooklyn 99. Joe something."

And IMDb did the rest.

This happened to me about 5 years ago. Except it turned out that it actually was the guy I thought it was. This actor's daughter was in a Girls on the Run group that my kid was also in and all I could think is that guy looks really familiar, like he had a short-lived show that was on after another show I watched and just never changed the channel. He ended up in four of those short-lived shows: Committed, Four Kings, Big Day and Better With You. I'll even give you a pic. Can anyone name this guy?

No idea. And even when I look at the URL of the photo, still no idea.

He looks a bit different not holding a dead fetus, but that's definitely Rick Santorum.

So his name is Josh Cooke.

Maybe playing Louis Greene in Dexter is his most famous role? Or if you're Rass, as Eddie in the ABC Family (I know, not Hallmark) Christmas movie Snowglobe.
