Television audiences know him as Fred Rococo on HBO's "Somebody Somewhere" as well as from appearances in "Life & Beth," "Drag Me To Dinner," "Elsbeth," "Welcome to Flatch," and "King of Drag." On film, he starred in Paul Feig's "Jackpot!" with John Cena and Awkwafina, and will next appear alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Man With The Bag." He's also reported for ABC News and Hulu's "Pride Across America," and NBC News named him one of the "30 Most Iconic and Influential Drag Performers in Modern History." Library Journal calls his memoir, "Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man," “laugh-out-loud ridiculous, sweet and wholesome, and heartbreakingly poignant."
