If you, like me, saw the chubby nerd making out with Bar Rafaeli in Go Daddy’s terrible Superbowl ad and thought you’d seen him somewhere before, it’s probably because you have. Dude’s name is Jesse Heinman, and he has been a character actor for longer than you might guess from his youthful appearance. From Old School to The Mindy Project, he has been in all kinds of stuff. And not all of it was humiliating! More
Human Easter Egg Jesse Heiman has appeared in nearly every movie and TV show of the last few years, and now he’s reaching out to NBC to see if they’ll let him help out with covering the Olympics in London next summer. We say yes! That way, when we’re going through the inspiring but endless opening ceremonies, at least there’d be a familiar face. More

Do you remember Jesse Heiman, Hollywood’s go-to extra for background shots and bit parts in projects like Glee, Arrested Development, Old School, and The Social Network?

Remember Ricky Gervais‘ 2005 series Extras? It was the painfully funny tale of an actor who doggedly paid his dues, always aspiring to break into Hollywood but perpetually falling short.

There’s also this great video picking him out of the crowd in Glee, The Social Network, and Arrested Development. (The fact that it’s set to “Lux Aeterna” from Requiem for a Dream makes it all the more epic.) Considering the breadth of his Hollywood career, I think you can assume that he’s havin’ a laugh. More
