Back then, the actor was a teenager hustling in Santa Cruz, Northern California, nowhere near the fame from parks and rec or severance. He caught wind of it through a radio ad calling for crowd extras, so he and his buddies jumped in a car and drove all the way down to Los Angeles.

Those moments stuck with him as the spark that lit his path. Years later though, he couldn't even pick himself out in the footage amid all those faces. That changed a couple years back when a sharp-eyed fan finally pointed him out in the crowd.
