- CreatorChuck LorreBill PradyStarsJohnny GaleckiJim ParsonsKaley CuocoAspiring film actress Penny Teller moves into a Pasadena apartment across the hall from brilliant, but socially awkward, physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter and shows them how little they know about life outside of the lab.Stuart Bloom is one of my favourite TBBT characters and probably my favourite KS character. He's a lot easier to identify and empathise with than most of the other main characters, although that might be because my own education leans towards the humanities instead of science.
- DirectorRoss ShumanStarsJohn Ross BowieKevin SussmanClancy BrownTwo slackers try to make a paycheck working an intergalactic warship.KS voices pothead Andy. I start wondering if the pot thing is going to be a trend.
I am deeply sad that this pilot was never picked up. - CreatorJavier Grillo-MarxuachStarsMatt KeeslarNatalie MoralesBrit MorganA struggling artist is recruited by a secret agency to fight against evil forces. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine.KS is only in one episode of this but I ended up buying the whole series based on having watched that one episode. It's a cracking good watch full of quick-witted humour and profound bizarreness.
- DirectorDan RosenStarsJosh LawsonClifton Collins Jr.Brit MorganA group of slackers who are living for free in a rock star's mansion find their sweet lives threatened when the musician decides to sell his pad.*beep* hilarious. The entire cast is on point. KS plays a lovable pothead named Benny who at one point does explicit things with his tongue to a chocolate fountain. (Oddly enough, that sort of thing sticks in one's mind.)
- StarsRip TornEmilie Jo TisdaleMegan Gallacher"Ghost Stories" was a supernatural anthology series, hosted by Rip Torn, with each story featuring a different chilling tale.Funny horror. Basically perfection.
- CreatorRob CorddryDavid WainJonathan SternStarsRob HuebelRob CorddryKen MarinoExplores the emotional struggles and sexual politics of a group of doctors charged with healthy libidos. Their dedication to their personal lives is relentless, interrupted only by the occasional need to treat sick children.You can find it on YouTube, the ep is only 11 minutes long, and if you don't want to see KS in a giraffe suit you're missing out.
- DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsAdrien BrodyBebe NeuwirthJoe MantegnaBaltimore, Fall 1954: Schools implement the new integration law. Ben finds the "colored" girl in his class cute - upsetting his Jewish mom and granny. Ben talks to her while his brother looks for his WASP dream girl.This was a moving and incredible movie.
- DirectorJeff BuhlerStarsJesse MetcalfeKiele SanchezPeter StormareAfter he's institutionalized in order to cover for his sister, a young man encounters a doctor who is turning his patients into flesh-eating psychopaths.This movie has the honour of being one of the few horror movies to elicit a reaction out of me but that's mostly because I like cats and don't like seeing them die, and I like KS and don't like seeing him have an ice pick shoved into his brain.
His character Dave has all of Stuart's neuroses turned up to eleven and is a badass to boot. - DirectorDavid WainStarsJaneane GarofaloDavid Hyde PierceMichael ShowalterSet on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, a group of counselors try to complete their unfinished business before the day ends.I hesitate to impugn Mr. Sussman's status as a grown man by talking about how cute he is in this, but unfortunately he's too *beep* adorable for that.
- DirectorRobert LuketicStarsKatherine HeiglAshton KutcherTom SelleckA vacationing woman meets her ideal man, leading to a swift marriage. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover their neighbors could be assassins who have been contracted to kill the couple.A smaller role I would describe as 'hilariously homicidal'.
- DirectorMarcel SarmientoStarsMalin AkermanBrendan HinesMike DoyleWhen Charlie meets Daphne, he never expected that he would have to battle her dog to woo her. But something unexpected happens: he begins to fall in love with the dog, realizing he never really needed a girlfriend in the first place.Dear Mr. Sussman, please stop being adorable with dogs, my heart can't handle it.
- DirectorAnthony BellBen GluckStarsHayden PanettiereChristina RicciJustin LongTwo young wolves at opposite ends of their pack's social order are thrown together into a foreign land and need each other to return home, but love complicates everything.This was hella cute even if KS doesn't get much airtime in it.
- CreatorBruno HellerStarsSimon BakerRobin TunneyTim KangA famous "psychic" outs himself as a fake, and starts working as a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation so he can find "Red John", the madman who killed his wife and daughter.One of those roles that combined wisecracking and punching people, which is strangely appealing.
- CreatorMatt NixStarsBradley WhitfordColin HanksJenny WadeJack is a by-the-book detective whose habit of undermining himself has resulted in a dead-end position with the Police Dept. His partner Dan, a drunken, lecherous veteran hangs onto his job only because of one heroic act years ago.I wanna say he was a stoner again in this? I can't remember though.
- DirectorAng LeeStarsDemetri MartinHenry GoodmanEdward HibbertA man working at his parents' motel in the Catskills inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969.KS does not play a pothead in this which is frankly miraculous considering the movie's subject matter. Good movie even if he's not in it much.
- DirectorLeslie GreifStarsChevy ChasePenelope Ann MillerArmand AssanteWhen Henry Perkins accidentally trades his briefcase with a man, he finds five million dollars inside. However, the cash draws in Mr. Big, who wants to reclaim his money.Embarrassment squick? Check. Laughed anyway? Yep.
- DirectorAndy TennantStarsWill SmithEva MendesKevin JamesA smooth-talking man falls for a hardened columnist while helping a shy accountant woo a beautiful heiress.Minor role? Yeah, maybe... but there's a hell of a lot of cute packed into it.
- DirectorCharles Herman-WurmfeldStarsJennifer WestfeldtHeather JuergensenTovah FeldshuhA woman searching for the perfect man instead discovers the perfect woman.KS's role was small but this was a pretty adorable movie.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsBrad PittFrances McDormandGeorge ClooneyA disk containing mysterious information from a CIA agent ends up in the hands of two unscrupulous and daft gym employees who attempt to sell it.KS manages to be snappy and sarcastic even after being tackled to the pavement by George Clooney. Another wisecrack/fight scene. Love 'em.
- DirectorPaul WeilandStarsPatrick DempseyMichelle MonaghanKevin McKiddHannah surprises Tom, her best friend who is secretly in love with her, with the news of her engagement to a wealthy man. Things take a complicated turn when she asks Tom to be her maid of honor.KS's role in this is referred to as 'Tiny Shorts Guy'. I can confirm that this description is accurate.
- CreatorFernando GaitánSilvio HortaStarsAmerica FerreraEric MabiusTony PlanaSmart but wholesome Betty embraces her unique appearance and independent attitude in the cutthroat world of New York fashion.My embarrassment squick meant I had trouble watching more than a couple of episodes (that and they were long).
- DirectorAndy TennantStarsReese WitherspoonPatrick DempseyJosh LucasA young woman who has reinvented herself as a New York City socialite must return home to Alabama to obtain a divorce from her husband after seven years of separation.
- DirectorTim KirkmanStarsBilly MagnussenCameron MonaghanKevin SussmanAfter being fired from the affluent country club for bad behavior, a former tennis star takes a job at a public racquet club where he leads a ragtag group of oddball pros to a showdown against a rival team of his former co-workers.KS was great. The movie was less than stellar. I mostly skipped through and watched his scenes (thanks to Silje, who has timestamps memorised).
