TIL who Stephen Root is.

Fuches on Roseanne! I just love this actor, he's been in so much. Lately he's been impressing me on Barry, and I wanted to learn more about his career. And his actual name...

Stephen Root
I loved him best as Milton in Office Space:

And, Gordon in Dodgeball:

Surprisingly, he had a TNG role as Captain K'vada, Unification I and II, the story with Spock:

I didn't watch News Radio, but many may know him as Jimmy James:

And, of course, Fuches on Barry:

I think Fuches is his best role yet. Season 2 of Barry is on now, and it's better than ever.

Animation
He's also done animated voices, including Bill and Buck, King of the Hill, and Bubbles from Finding Nemo:

He's in many Coen brother's movies, lots of roles in lots of things, and like the Roseanne clip above, some old tv.
Here's his episode of Seinfeld where Kramer tries to get $100 because the bank teller didn't say hello.

And how could I forget him as the dentist in Louie!

I'm not saying I have a crush on the guy, but I just spent time putting this together instead of something more important, so maybe I do.
I doubt I'll ever forget his name after this.

Dog tax, my sweet girl.

Absolutely. I listen to Joe Rogan and he talks about how they were underappreciated and watched their ratings go down and down.
