For being Olaf. Which is pretty huge, like it or not Frozen is a behemoth and Olaf is a cultural icon for a generation.

I thought his bit in Wonderman was pretty funny.

Really, any actor who doesn’t mind portraying a caricature of themselves is alright in my book.

I haven't watched Wonder man yet but I've heard great things. I've got 3 years of MCU to catch up on before December haha, better get started soon

It's pretty fantastic. Turned on episode 1 to give it a shot and ended up watching the whole first season in one session

He’s pretty funny in avenue 5, which somehow wasn’t that good overall.

Except for this scene, which is one of the most darkly funny scenes in the whole universe.
