Personal Quote:

(2011, on landing The Rum Diary) I had worked on a movie called Public Enemies with Johnny Depp, and then I heard that he was doing this. So I actually wrote him a little note saying if he needed any help with craft service or anything like that, that would be wonderful, I'm around, I'm available... See more »

Trivia:

First appeared, uncredited, on Friends in The One with the Baby on the Bus at the end, as the guy who had dropped a condom in Phoebe's guitar while she was singing in front of Central Perk (because the manager hired a professional musician). Later that season, he came back in The One with the Bullies as "Frank Buffay Jr.", Phoebe's younger half-brother, a character that stayed for 8 episodes over several seasons. See more »
