Whether he ’s the plump for role in a situation comedy , to providing some serious comic relief in films or even lending a invitee spot on some internet TV , Patrick Warburton has make up quite the resume . Here are ten iconic live - action roles from the worker .
Jeff Bingham (Rules of Engagement)
CBSSitcoms fill some strange vacancy in any TV lineup . Usually , they get pretty minus reviews but always last with just enough episodes ask for syndication . Case in dot , did anyone knowRules of Engagementran for seven seasons in five years ? It ’s a fairly forgettable sitcom that prove to combine elements of appearance likeSeinfeldandHow I Met Your female parent .
Anyway , Warburton tries his hardest to inject some of his deadpan humour into this show in play Jeff , a sarcastic and cold husband to Megyn Price ’s Audrey . While it ’s not the strongest carrying out , it ’s a serviceable one to fill a timeslot .
Johnny Johnson (NewsRadio)
NewsRadioseemed to have the diametrical issues of show likeRules of Engagement . This one received much better revaluation though its military rank were very inconsistent . This show was a workplace comedy about a news radio post , with a casting made up of the ilk of Dave Foley , Jon Lovitz , Stephen Root , and Phil Hartman .
In the concluding season , Warburton toy Johnny Johnson , a competition to Root ’s case . This is one of the many roles in which Warburton plays a support or recurring character in a situation comedy . This role live five episodes .
Agent T (Men In Black II)
Another supporting theatrical role , this time in a large blockbuster . homo in Black IIwas a huge sequel to an already huge photographic film . In it , Agent J ( Will Smith ) has a unexampled partner , Agent thymine ( Warburton ) .
Again , a sound chunk of these roles and performances are serviceable , with Warburton convey his usual appealingness into it . There is not as much centre in this one as there are in other roles but it ’s not awful . He plays off Smith reasonably well and it ’s just nerveless discover Warburton in a pic as big as this .
Lt. Tharl (The Orville)
Seth MacFarlane’sThe Orvillehas receive praise from fans of bothStar Trekand of MacFarlane ’s unequalled brand of humor . One of the highlights of the show was a guest appearance by Warburton . Here , he portray Lt . Tharl in the show ’s second season .
Tharl is an alien who has a 2nd esophagus that resembles an elephant ’s trunk . The make - up is perfectly awesome and he steal every tantrum he ’s in , despite only appear in two episodes in season two . This persona does a much better job of show off Wartburton ’s range as an actor .
Rick Stoner (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.)
Patrick Warburton is now a part of theMarvel Cinematic Universe(joining the likes of Sam Rockwell in roles that seem to waste the skills of the histrion portray them ) . In 2018 , he portray the laughable volume character Rick Stoner , who was most magnificently the first known executive theatre director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
He appear in the idiot box seriesAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as a holograph . He appear in two episodes , devote subject matter and briefing about a facility set up to hold out any and all revelatory fate .
Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Warburton takes on the office of the fictional biographer in this Netflix series free-base on the popular children ’s book series . In the show , Snicket recount the show in a Rod Sterling - like style exchangeable toThe Twilight Zone .
Warburton ’s more understated approach to this performance and his improbably nerveless demeanor make this one of the more unique performances in his career . He recounts event that bechance in the story while also providing comment in between each sequence . The show would go on for three time of year , with Warburton reprize his function in each one .
Steven Stone (Scream 3)
Scream 3was thelow compass point of the once smart and savvy slasher film series . alternatively of being a heedful parody of horror films , it was just another slasher movie , like the first two screaming were trying to lampoon . While the series would have to wait until 2011 for a return to form , this one had one matter going for it : Pattrick Warburton .
Using his physicality as oppose to his vocal chop , he played Steven Stone , a nerveless escort to fictional actress Jennifer Jolie . unluckily , he died . What an absolute bummer .
Hymie (Get Smart)
Get Smartwas a serviceable , if not groundbreaking drollery from the late 2000s . It was ground on the show of the same name , created byMel Brooksin the 60 . Warburton play Hymie , a robotic agent at CONTROL . The first of his variety , he was built by Bruce and Lloyd and appear at the end of the film and in the fellow traveller , Direct - to - video spin - off moving picture , Get Smart ’s Bruce and Lloyd : Out of Control .
It ’s a wizard snatch that showcases Warburton ’s comedic timing . It ’s also fun to see him diddle off of Terry Crews andDavid Koechner .
David Puddy (Seinfeld)
" Yeah , that ’s right . " Elaine ’s on - and - off boyfriend inSeinfeldis one of the most iconic , recurring character in the show ’s chronicle . He is an closed book of a gentleman , put up some of the weirdest quotes in the show , despite only appear in ten episode . Elaine screw how masculine he is though he is a bit of an odd fellow .
He reminds Elaine that she is live on to hell for being an atheist , he paints himself in full New Jersey Devils colour whenever he go to their hockey game and is entirely apathetic towards his relationship with Elaine .
The Tick (The Tick)
“ I am the wild blue yonder . The front line in a never - ending battle between good and not - so - skillful . ”The 2001Tickseries deserved fashion more than it got . Only running for a seven - episode season , this show was a bizarre and intelligent satire of superhero cultivation . It was based on a funny series by Ben Edlund .
What really made this show special was Warburton ’s operation as the titular paladin . He is a dopey , positive oaf that wants to do nothing more than to maintain peace and civility . It really showcases how well Warburton can carry his own show , no matter how weird .
