The first time I heard Jim Downey’s name was through this very dark, genius bit he did on Conan’s podcast.

Jim has a great part (and one of the funniest lines) in the new Paul Thomas Anderson film One Battle After Another. He plays a member of the Christmas Adventurers. If you want to know what a Christmas Adventurer is you'll have to see the movie (highly recommended).
