Career
Gass began performing standup in 1993 by hitting the brutal comedy circuit, through whatever dive bar or club would have him. [3]
Gass was mentored by Howard Stern and the shock radio legend put Gass on his radio show. Through his appearances, Gass impressed listeners with his spot-on impressions of such icons as Christopher Walken and Al Pacino. [4]
That led to one of Stern’s writers helping Gass land an acting part on “Sex and the City” as Miranda’s donut-eating boyfriend. [5]
Gass’ talent for impressions also led him to a co-starring spot on “King of Queens." [6]
Gass has appeared in the films “Pauly Shore is Dead” and “Noise." [7]
