      He’s an actor and comedian from New Zealand. Off the top of my head, he’s been in:

      • “Flight of the Concords”
      • “Voltron”
      • “What We Do In the Shadows” the movie, not sure about the series
      • “Our Flag Means Death”

      I’m pretty excited by the idea of him showing up in SNW. His line read of “We’re werewolves, not swear wolves,” lives in my head. My guess would be him playing a Mudd/Okana type figure.

        Oh snap he was the manager in FotC! That’s pretty awesome then!

        The article just mentioned ‘Jumanji’ and I didn’t recognize him from the picture.

          He’s amazing in anything he does, I hope he’s gonna chew the fuck out of the scenery in the trek episode.

      Lol, same here. Though the name definitely rings a bell. I’m sure if I pulled up his IMDB page I’d immediately recognize a few roles.
