Tropes in his career:
- Typecasting: As he tells NPR, he's become most known for playing affable doormats or butt monkeys — not just his two most famous live-action roles on Arrested Development and Veep, but also Henpecked Husband Jerome on A Series of Unfortunate Events and hapless asshole Agent Suggs in The Road Chip.
