Ken Marino Successfully Auditions for Role of ‘Local Man Who Has Seen Too Much’
After decades of stealing scenes, the comedy veteran reveals his secret to Hollywood endurance is a steady diet of sarcasm and sheer panic.

Listen, we all knew Ken Marino was a legend, but the man is finally coming clean about how he survived the Hollywood meat grinder without losing his sense of humor or his suspiciously perfect hairline. While promoting his new project, Ken basically admitted that his secret to a long career is mostly about being the loudest person in the room until someone gives him a paycheck.
He’s been cracking us up for years, and honestly, the man deserves a medal for his commitment to playing characters that are consistently five seconds away from a total public meltdown. Whether he’s writing the jokes or delivering them with that signature wild-eyed stare, he’s proved that you don’t need a gym membership if you’re constantly running away from a failing bit.
Apparently, Ken’s incredible journey involved a lot of sweating and being a professional scene-stealer. At this point, he has stolen so many scenes that the LAPD is considering opening a cold case file. We love a man who knows that in Tinseltown, if you aren't the lead, you better be the funniest person standing behind them holding a tray of appetizers.
