Who played the bad guy music producer dude in the Chipmunk Movie (and the Squeakual)? He looks familiar, but I cannot place him. What would I know him from? ---

David Cross is probably best known for his TV work on _Mr. Show_ and _Arrested Development_ as well as a ton of guest appearances on varoius series. ---

[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0189144/](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0189144/) David Cross. He’s been in a lot of interviews saying how he basically does crap like that to pay the bills. He’s upfront about that kind of stuff. ---

Thanks, and yet I’ve never heard of those shows. I don’t watch much TV/movies. Maybe he reminds me of someone else… ---

He was also Slow Brother Donny on Just Shoot Me. Funniest epidose ever. ---

He was also the morgue “receptionist” in _Men in Black_, and the video rental guy in _Men in Black II_. I assume the two are actually the same character, because he’s not made to appear any different. ---

By far my favorite David Cross performance was his voice-over as Happy Time Harry, a cynical doll, in the “Dumber Dolls” episode of _Aqua Teen Hunger Force_, possibly their funniest episode. (Apparently, his official voice credit reads “Sir Willups Brightslymoore.”) ---

> [@Jinx](#): > > Thanks, and yet I’ve never heard of those shows. I don’t watch much TV/movies. Maybe he reminds me of someone else… Do you ever watch _The Colbert Report_? He’s been on that as a clueless hippie-type coming on the show to “debate” Stephen.
