Trivia
- Had a horrific accident in 1995 when he was eleven. He was hit by a 42-ton cement truck and broke all the bones in his legs. It took him two years before he could fully walk again.
- Seldom shows his legs because he required extensive skin grafting on his legs following his accident, which resulted in brutal scarring, swelling and discoloration that can rarely be covered with make-up.
- Lived in the house that Workaholics is filmed in originally with Blake Anderson and Kyle Newacheck. The house is now used for filming.
- Back when he was a teenager and still living in Omaha, he worked at the grocery store that About Schmidt (2002) was filmed at. He was kicked off the set because he couldn't stop staring at Jack Nicholson and making sure his face was on camera.
- Before doing the audition for Pitch Perfect (2012), he thought the movie was about baseball and was doing warm-up exercises in the parking lot and rubbing himself with dirt for a more realistic baseball-playing character.
