Geoffrey Arend Movies
Actor
Geoffrey Arend made his initial entrée into show business in the early 2000s with voiceover work on the MTV animated series
Daria; over time, he segued into features and came to focus predominantly, if not quite exclusively, on comedies with a high gag-quotient, such as
Bubble Boy (2001),
Porn 'n Chicken (2002),
National Lampoon's Pledge This! (2006), and director
David Zucker's
Michael Moore send-up
An American Carol (2008). Often, though not always (as in the
Zucker film, where he played a Middle Easterner),
Arend found himself cast in ethnic roles. His efforts in the
Fred Schepisi-directed seriocomedy
It Runs in the Family (2003) and the 2004
Zach Braff-headlined/directed coming of age saga
Garden State (as a friend of
Braff's) represented steps up in terms of depth and complexity. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
