Before Salute Your Shorts he had spots on several TV shows including The Wonder Years, and after SYS had a small stint on 3rd Rock From the Sun and a couple spots on a few other shows.

Roundhouse was also a favorite. It seems to be much more obscure than a lot of the others, because most people I mention it to give me a puzzled stare. Space Cases anyone?
