Has been an extra in the films "Zack And Miri Make a Porno," "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Blood Fest."
Appeared as a talking head on the documentary "Why Are We Here: 15 Years At Rooster Teeth."
"Movies, to him and the majority of the planet, are an enhancement to a life. The way a glass of wine complements a dinner. I’m the other way around. I’m the kind of person who eats a few bites of food so that my stomach can handle the full bottle of wine I’m about to drink."
- Patton Oswalt, Silver Screen Fiend
"Remember: it costs nothing to encourage an artist, and the potential benefits are staggering. A pat on the back to an artist now could one day result in your favorite film, or the cartoon you love to get stoned watching, or the song that saves your life. Discourage an artist, you get absolutely nothing in return. Ever."
