He starred with Rob Schneider and David Spade in the film produced by Adam Sandler, The Benchwarmers and played opposite Billy Bob Thornton in School for Scoundrels.In 2007 he co-starred with Will Ferrell in Blades of Glory. Although Blades of Glory was a hit in its own right, the pop-cultural phenomena of the first Heder film keeps going.
