Judah Friedlander (born March 16, 1969) [1] [2] is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is known for playing the role of writer Frank Rossitano on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock . [3] [4] [5] Friedlander is also known for his role as Toby Radloff in the film American Splendor , [1] [4] [6] a role that garnered him favorable reviews and a nomination for best supporting actor at the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Earlier in his career, he was recognized as "the hug guy" from the music video for the 2001 Dave Matthews Band single "Everyday". [5] [6] [12]

Contents

Friedlander is known for his distinctive look, which includes oversized glasses, shaggy hair, and a t-shirt and trucker hat (both often emblazoned with slogans such as "world champion"), and a generally unkempt appearance. [1] [3] [10] [11] [12] [13] It is a look he maintains as a stand-up comedian, during most of his public appearances, and which he has employed in some of his acting roles. [1] [3] [11] [14]

Early life

Friedlander was born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the son of Shirley and Art Friedlander. [1] [12] His father was of Russian Jewish descent and his mother, a native of Pittsburgh, is Croatian American. [12] [15] [16]

As a child, Friedlander drew political cartoons and made animated films. [17] He first tried stand-up comedy in 1989 at the age of 19 while attending New York University. [3] [11] [13] [18] Friedlander graduated from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study. [19]

Stand-up comedy

Friedlander has performed stand-up comedy regularly throughout his entertainment career. [3] [4] [13] He continued to perform stand-up several nights a week in New York City while working on the sitcom 30 Rock. [3] [4] Friedlander has stated that he is most relaxed when doing stand-up [11] and that he considers stand-up to be his first true love, [20] preferring it to acting. [21] He stated in 2012 that stand-up comedy is "still the most important thing I do from an artistic standpoint." [22]

Friedlander has cited comedians Steven Wright, Sam Kinison and John Mulrooney as influences. [23] He also says that Dave Attell is one of his favorite comics. [23]

Friedlander's comedic performances often feature him making outrageous and bombastic claims about himself with a deadpan delivery. [3] [6] [12] [20] Many of these claims are reflected in slogans displayed on the many trucker hats he wears — the most common being "World Champion", a slogan he has worn in various languages. [6] [10] [11] [15] [17]

One of his claims include being an expert in karate, having achieved an "extra-dark black belt" in the sport. [4] [14] [24] In 2010, he authored the humor book How to Beat Up Anybody: An Instructional and Inspirational Karate Book by the World Champion. [8] [17] Friedlander's claims provide comedic irony when contrasted against his nonchalant attitude and physical appearance. [3] [10] Friedlander wears large, thick-rimmed glasses, is often unshaven and is generally unkempt. [3] [5] [17]

The look that Friedlander employs during his stand-up has also carried over into some of his television and film roles, including his 30 Rock role as TV writer Frank Rossitano. [14] [17] Frank is however much lazier than Friedlander's "World Champion" persona. [14] [25]

In 2007, Heeb magazine included Friedlander in their list of "100 people you need to know about". [26]

[1] [23] His character, Frank Rossitano, is a sarcastic and wisecracking writer on the fictional show TGS with Tracy Jordan [1] [11] [29] Frank is lazy, slovenly, and lives with his mother (played by Patti Lupone). [17] [30] He is also sex-obsessed, which he often reveals by way of vulgar and sexually suggestive comments. [1] [17] [29] Friedlander has stated that Frank Rossitano is based on at least two writers with whom Tina Fey used to work at Saturday Night Live . [29] His ever-changing, slogan-bearing trucker hats also became a running gag on the show. [21] [29] Friedlander makes his hats himself and created enough of them to be able to wear a different one in each scene of 30 Rock, which is about three hats per show. [12] [18] [29]

Friedlander has appeared on late-night talk shows such as Late Night with Conan O'Brien , The Daily Show with Jon Stewart , The Daily Show with Trevor Noah , The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Last Call with Carson Daly .

In 2003 Friedlander played Toby Radloff in the biopic American Splendor , a role that received favorable reviews — his performance was deemed "unforgettable" [1] by The New York Times and "pitch-perfect" by both Nick A. Zaino III of The Boston Globe [9] and Dan Dinicola of The Daily Gazette . [34] He was also nominated in the category of best supporting actor at the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards. [1] [6] [29]
