Anyone who has a sweet tooth for the Pillsbury Doughboy can understand our hankering for plump performer Patton Oswalt. For years, the cuddly comedian warmed the cockles of Mr. Man’s heart (and another part of his anatomy) as the lovable nerd Spence Olchin on the hit sitcom The King of Queens (1998-2007) starring Kevin James. The boob tube babe also played Neil on the Diablo Cody dramedy United States of Tara (2009-2011); Baxter Sarno on the science fiction drama Caprica (2010); Hurlan on the humorous horror series The Heart, She Holler (2011-2014); Teddy Sykes on the political satire Veep (2015-2019); and “The Koenigs” on the comic book saga Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014-2020). If that’s not entertaining enough, Patton also is an integral part of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (2017-present). Even though he’s lent his vocals to several different television shows (Axe Cop, BoJack Horseman, The Sandman, The Simpsons), Oswalt is best known for voicing the adult Adam F. Goldberg on the ’80s-set sitcom The Goldbergs (2013-present) and Remy in the Pixar animated movie Ratatouille (2007). Patton has also popped up on the big screen in Miloš Forman’s Man on the Moon (1999), Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia (1999), Ben Stiller’s Zoolander (2000), and Starsky and Hutch (2004) directed by Todd Phillips. Of course, we’re more turned on by Oswalt’s topless turn in the Jason Reitman dramedy Young Adult (2011). The R-rated flick features Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, Elizabeth Reaser, Jill Eikenberry, and Patton’s portly chest. Maybe next time, he will go bottomless!
