Ben Schwartz

Ben Schwartz's Emmy win for the Oscars opening number is a rare achievement for a writer-performer early in his career. While he has not collected a large trophy case, his impact is measured in the enduring popularity of his characters. Jean-Ralphio Saperstein is one of the most quoted sitcom characters of the 2010s, and his voice performance as Sonic has been praised for capturing the character's irreverent energy. Schwartz has been nominated for several other awards, including a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for House of Lies.
