Brian Dunkleman

He has appeared on The Tonight Show, had a recurring guest role on Two Guys and a Girl, played a stand-up comic suspected of murder in NYPD Blue, voiced himself in an episode of The Proud Family, in which the show parodied American Idol, did voices for the animated 3 South, and is acting in an independent film called Comedy Hell. He also had a small role on an episode of Friends.
Dunkleman recently was a co-host with Eric the Midget on The Idol Re-cap Show on Sirius’s Howard 101. He also did voice over for the 1st season of American Idol Rewind. He also played himself on an episode of My Name is Earl, hosting a reality contest show called “Estrada or Nada,” where contestants show their skills in an America’s Got Talent-esque show starring Eric Estrada. As Brian ended a segment of the show he said, “Dunkleman… out. No, Ryan Seacrest did not steal it from me.”
He is currently pitching a fictional series about his life after American Idol entitled American Dunkleman. The series is a fictional account of the actor-comic’s life, following the fictional Dunkleman as he tries to work his way back to the television industry, embarrassing himself and disappointing his friends while constantly being reminded that he “could have been a millionaire” had he stuck with Idol.
