Erik Charles Nielsen
High-strung comic Erik Charles Nielsen is best known for the recurring role of Garrett on NBC's Community, which he has played since the show's premiere in 2008. In 2013, he made his TV stand-up debut on TBS's Conan, and also appeared on HBO Canada's Funny as Hell. He's appeared on IFC's Maron and the upcoming Garfunkel & Oates, Cartoon Network's Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and in the feature film Bad Milo with Ken Marino and Patrick Warburton. Born on Long Island and raised in Florida, Erik credits his unusual comedic style to a childhood spent reading and being bullied.
