His acting roles include "Frank" in the Aki Kaurismäki film Calamari Union. His Frank is the Frank who for most of the film appears to gibber in English in an apparent schichoprenic delusion about his days as a soldier of fortune. This viewer interpretation is subverted towards the end of the movie, as a group of Latin American freedom fighters wreak their vengeance by shooting him like a dog.
As a stand-up comic, his shtick has largely been that of the balding middle aged man going through an identity crisis.
