Jimmy Shubert in Comedy Central Presents (1998)

As a stand-up comic, he served as an opening act for comic legend
<a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0455630/?ref_=nmtrv_trv">Sam Kinison</a>.

By the age of 15, he had become an accomplished professional magician.

He attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing
Arts, majoring in Drama.

The Go audition couldn&#39;t have come at a more deflating time. He read
for Liman the same week he had attended the funeral of his 12-year-old
cousin in Philadelphia. While in Philly, he also learned that the
proposed sitcom Postal, in which he was to play a Long Island postal
worker, wasn&#39;t being picked up for the 1998 pilot season. With a
certain fatalism hanging over his life and career, Jimmy read for Go by
relying more on a devil-be-dammed instinct than any acting technique.
