He was the very first actor to audition for the Creator/{{NBC}} version of ''[[Series/TheOfficeUS The Office]]'', and easily won the part of {{Jerkass}} Dwight K. Schrute, which is still his signature role.

He's the voice of Gallaxhar in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' as well as Gargamel in ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage''. In 2017 [[AscendedFanboy he was cast]] as Harry Mudd in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery.'' |
