In the fall of 2011, Jim played the sheriff, Heck Tate, in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey to sold-out houses!  It was the highest-grossing show that STNJ has ever produced.

Jim played James Ahern, a researcher, on the Onion News Network's segment about a terrifying new diet drug!  The job honed his ability to remain deadpan while discussing ridiculous things.

Jim played a doctor on the season 2 premiere of LOUIE, on the FX network!  He was very impressed by Louis C.K.'s improvisational style, and his masterful grasp as director, actor, and writer.
