Some of my past credits include, YOUNG SHELDON, THE BIG BANG THEORY, FUTURAMA, FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS, and MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE. I published a book of philosophy called "Does Santa Exist: A Philosophical Investigation".  I am investigating comedy and philosophy, and sometimes doing some comedy, and some fantasy.
