He has made numerous televion appearances including The Comedy Network's Puppets Who Kill, Comedy Inc., The Gavin Crawford Show, The A Channel's The Toronto Show as well as many made for television features. Nug has also appeared on CBC's The Sean Cullen Show and is currently a series regular on the YTV television series Monster Warriors.
His film experiences include roles in The Tuxedo (alongside Jackie Chan and Jennifer Love Hewitt), Owning Mahowny (with Philip Seymour Hoffman), and was one of the leads in the popular sci-fi horror Cube: Zero. He played a memorable role as "Nug" in the Canadian Curling comedy Men With Brooms, and recenly shot roles in the feature films The Greatest Game Ever Played (directed by Bill Paxton), Homi Spumoni, and Stir of Echoes 2: The Homecoming.
Nug is a favourite around the comedy scene in Toronto. His sketch duo Nugmutter's clever writing and strong presence earned them a nomination for the Tim Sims Encouragement Fund Award in 1999 (for up-and-coming comic talent in Toronto). Nug continues to perform sketch comedy with his troupe The Minnesota Wrecking Crew winners of the 2003 and 2004 Canadian Comedy Award for sketch comedy. They recently performed on the CBC television special Sketch! With Kevin McDonald.
Nug has been a long-time member of The Second City Touring Company where he has had the privilege of improvising with Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Colin Mochrie and many more. Through Second City, Nug has written and performed in numerous theatre, radio and corporate events and has traveled to exotic places like Marham. Nug also played the role of "Jake" in a highly successful run of the adaptation of Sam Raimi's cult-classic films, Evil Dead 1 & 2 the Musical, which created quite a buzz at the 2004 Just For Laughs Festival and played to packed houses at The Diesel Playhouse in Toronto.
Nug is a strong singer, a strong comedic and dramatic actor, and can lift heavy things. When he's not busy, Nug is probably watching wrestling, in a bar, eating chicken wings.
