      [–]Nice_Firm_Handsnake 25 points26 points  (8 children)

      No relation. He first got notoriety for being one of the writers of the film The Descendants, which won Best Adapted Screenplay. He's been in a few things since then: Ben & Kate, Married, The Way Way Back.

      [–]PigsAreFuckingScum 24 points25 points  (3 children)

      Person above forgot to mention he was a German team member in Beerfest and on a handful of episodes of Reno 911 as a criminal. You’d recognize the face probably.

      [–]instacarp 5 points6 points  (3 children)

      The Way Way Back is great, Jim Rash is also in it

                            Is this Futurama related, or something new entirely? The thought of a brand new Matt Groening cartoon intrigues me.

                            Brand new. It's called "Disenchantment".

                            [–]ThatChrisFella 37 points38 points  (6 children)

                            From a comment up there^

                            Disenchantment

                            http://deadline.com/2017/07/disenchantment-matt-groening-netflix-animated-comedy-20-episode-order-abbi-jacobson-nat-faxon-eric-andre-voice-cast-1202135218/

                            Abbi Jacobson, Nat Faxon and Eric Andre headline the voice cast of Disenchantment. Set in the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, the series will follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean (Jacobson), her feisty elf companion Elfo (Faxon), and her personal demon Luci (Andre). Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools. Also voicing characters are John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, David Herman, Matt Berry, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding and Lucy Montgomery.

                            “Ultimately,” says Groening, “Disenchantment will be about life and death, love and sex, and how to keep laughing in a world full of suffering and idiots, despite what the elders and wizards and other jerks tell you.”
