Family Values

starring Rob Riggle

A new sitcom from director Mike Shapiro
and writer/creator Rob Kutner


Who’s In The FAMILY…

Rob Riggle (THEO GLADDINGS) was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He has been performing sketch and improv comedy in New York and Los Angeles for the last 9 years as part of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He is also a decorated United States Marine Corps officer. Rob was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2004-2005. He has appeared on The Office and Arrested Development, numerous times on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He can also be seen in films like Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story, with Rob Corddry, Talladega Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Unaccompanied Minors.

Mike Shapiro (DIRECTOR) is a proud and lifelong patriot. His film, A Problem With Sharks, received honors as Official Selection at the Hampton’s International Film Festival, and made the rounds nationwide (Palm Springs and Seattle International Film Festival, among them). Next up he’ll direct the feature This Won’t Hurt, a comedy he co-wrote about love, blood and leeches. Shapiro also directs live theatre, which is where he and Kutner first began their Socratic dialogue over post-Brechtian dialectics. He has appeared several times on Late Night with Conan O’Brien as a disturbingly avid fan of Bob Costas.

Rob Kutner (WRITER and SERIES CREATOR) is an Emmy-award-winning writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and contributor to America (The Book). He has also written for HBO's Dennis Miller Live, and his short film Pie Chi has appeared on Showtime and screened at numerous festivals. This is his fourth collaboration with Mike Shapiro, and you know what they say: “Fourth time's one after the charm.” For more information on Rob and updates on his forthcoming book Apocalypse How and new short Eco the Enviro-Clown go to www.RobKutner.com. Or don't. Unlike Theo, he promises not to get offended.
