Of course, while The Eric Andre Show is still Eric Andre’s most obvious calling card, it’s far from his only notable paying gig. As mentioned, the funnyman has been stealing scenes and seizing laughs on screens big and small for a little over a decade now, and he’s put together quite an impressive little resume in that period.
Fans of Larry David’s long-running HBO farce Curb Your Enthusiasm no doubt recognize Andre from his appearance as a tormented set P.A. on the series’ season 7 “Seinfield reunion” episodes. While Andre’s Curb Your Enthusiasm gig likely didn’t pay all that well, it certainly got his face out there, and opened a few more doors in Hollywood. The actor had a bit of a minor breakthrough in 2012, of course, with the premiere of The Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim. That same year, Andre himself made his legit premiere on network television after landing a recurring role on ABC’s Krysten Ritter and James Van Der Beek-starring cult comedy Don’t Trust The B**** In Apartment 23.
Andre would go on to appear an all 26 episodes of the the tragically short-lived series, and has continued to turn up on TV (including a truly memorable stint on the mostly forgettable 2 Broke Girls) ever since. Eric Andre has also been raising his big screen profile in recent years, earning a role opposite Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson on 2013’s The Internship, turning up in the star-studded cast of 2017’s Rough Night, and even lending his voice to Disney’s 2019 blockbuster remake of The Lion King.
Most recently Andre made the jump from supporting player to star opposite Tiffany Hadish in 2020’s Bad Trip (which he also co-wrote). And you can be certain Eric Andre’s recurring role on Netflix’s animated Matt Groening fantasy Disenchantment will keep his accounts flush with cash for years to come.
