Whether it’s from his work on Human Giant and Children’s Hospital, guest-starring roles on small screen sitcoms like The Office, or bit roles in movies like Little Fockers, The Descendants and The Other Guys, you’ve seen Rob Huebel. You may not yet associate him with one breakout role (unless it’s as an annoying cell phone user), but that changing seems only to be a matter of when, not if.
In Huebel’s latest film, multi-hyphenate Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant‘s loose-limbed horror comedy Hell Baby, he plays a police officer who, along with Paul Scheer, gets a strange feeling about a married-and-pregnant couple (Rob Corddry and Leslie Bibb) who move into a New Orleans house with a most unsavory history. I recently had a chance to talk to Huebel about the movie, improvisation, national commercial campaigns and the special hope and despair of pilot season. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
