* CringeComedy: He's very good at playing ''very'' socially awkward characters. But not in an {{Adorkable}} kind of way; more in a TooDumbToLive kind of way. See Tobias in ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' and ''especially'' ''Series/TheIncreasinglyPoorDecisionsOfToddMargaret.''

* MeanCharacterNiceActor

* NiceHat

* UglyGuyHotWife: Creator/AmberTamblyn. We shit you not.

* GallowsHumor: Cross claims he gave his girlfriend (see Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend, below) a dildo, in case she gets raped. Of course, if you've seen ''TerrorFirmer'', [[FridgeBrilliance this makes perfect sense]].

* TheCastShowOff: Surprisingly, he's not that bad a singer, particularly at hitting high notes. He does this quite a bit in ''MrShow'' and even performed a song from ''JesusChristSuperstar'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAdHo-dZA4 with the band Sloan.]]

* SarcasmMode: When Cross sounds like he's agreeing with someone, you know things are going to get ''dark''.

* NamesTheSame: No, he was never the violinist for Music/KingCrimson.

* TakeThat: He had a pretty well-documented feud with LarryTheCableGuy.

* MoneyDearBoy: Cross's explanation for appearing in ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks''. It paid for a house.
** He has later gone on to say that the filming of ''Chipwrecked'' was the most miserable experience of his life, urging others not to see it.
*** To give you an idea, he spent most of filming in a pelican suit, [[NauseaFuel on a moving cruise ship]]. Ouch.
