Kevin Pollak began his career in comedy, touring professionally as a standup comedian when he was 20, and later moving seamlessly into acting with a role in George Lucas' epic adventure film Willow. He went on to earn critical acclaim for big-screen roles in Avalon, A Few Good Men, The Usual Suspects, Casino, Grumpy Old Men (and its sequel), and the miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, to name a few. Kevin resides in Los Angeles with his wife, and enjoys good cigars, reading and playing poker.

I loved Kevin in the Grumpy Old Men movies. What is going on with the collars on his shirt, though

Looks like he's going with the mobster look or something, LG. I'm sure he'll be a riot!

Isn't Pollack relatively short? Phil Gordon is, what, 6'9"? It will be interesting to see them sitting together.

I like him. Depending on how into the "hobby" of poker he is, it will be good to have a comedian on hand to make fun of the Celebrities

I wonder if Kevin will go for the Rat Pack look again tonight to fit in the luxurious 50's/60's feel of the set or if he'll dump the goofy outfit/hat.

Kevin Pollak is a really good actor. (See The Usual Suspects again.) He had a prominent role in "Stolen Summer," the first Project Greenlight film, which was an only-okay movie, but he was quite good. He also seems like a great guy from the Project Greenlight shows following the making of the film. He's one of those actors that I've sort of been waiting for to get the perfect part and sore to a Oscar nomination. Gary Oldman is another, although he's a great actor for a different reason. Kevin Pollak is so easy to watch b/c he is so familiar, like a neighbor; Gary Oldman is a cameleon (ever see "he Contender" with Joan Allen and Jeff Bridges? Oldman is almost unrecognizable as the sleazy senator.).
