Brent Morin (born August 31, 1986)[1] is a Los Angeles-based American comedian, stand-up comic and actor.[2]
Early life
Morin was born in South Windsor, Connecticut, to two inner city high school English teacher parents.[3] Morin has an older brother, who was a concert pianist, and a younger brother, who became a professional figure skater. He graduated from South Windsor High School.[3] He is of Irish and Italian background.[4]
Career
Morin moved to Los Angeles at 18 to study at a film school at Columbia College.[5] Although he graduated with a film degree, Morin started doing stand-up and eventually decided that was what he wanted to do.[3] Morin has said that he was inspired by his idols, Albert Brooks and Woody Allen.[5] After graduation, he worked as a production assistant with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on NBC and continued with Conan on TBS.[3][6] He went from being a general office production assistant to becoming the set production assistant/Andy Richter’s stand-in.[7] Morin has appeared regularly as a stand-up comic on shows with The Comedy Store, The Improv and Laugh Factory,[8] as well as on tours throughout the United States.[9]
In his network TV debut, Morin co-starred in the Bill Lawrence NBC series Undateable,[10] a multi-camera sitcom with a live audience, which was based on the book Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating or Having Sex by Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle.[11] Morin portrays Justin Kearney, the owner of Black Eyes Bar and hopeless romantic roommate of Danny (played by Chris D'Elia). Undateable was unique in that it was a cast full of stand-up comedians who were good friends before the show aired. The show often incorporates improv, with Morin playing Felix to D'Elia's grouch Oscar à la The Odd Couple.[12][13][14]
Lawrence and the cast (Chris D'Elia, Morin, Ron Funches, and Rick Glassman) went on a series of stand-up tour dates,and an appearance on @midnight to promote the show.[15][16]
