Judah Friedlander (born March 16, 1969)[1][2] is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He is known for playing the role of writer Frank Rossitano on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock.[3][4][5] Friedlander is also known for his role as Toby Radloff in the film American Splendor,[1][4][6] a role that garnered him favorable reviews and a nomination for best supporting actor at the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Earlier in his career, he was recognized as "the hug guy" from the music video for the 2001 Dave Matthews Band single "Everyday".[5][6][12]
Friedlander is known for his distinctive look, which includes oversized glasses, shaggy hair, and a t-shirt and trucker hat (both often emblazoned with slogans such as "world champion"), and a generally unkempt appearance.[1][3][10][11][12][13] It is a look he maintains as a stand-up comedian, during most of his public appearances, and which he has employed in some of his acting roles.[1][3][11][14]
