Who is John Pirruccello?  

 

A versatile actor who shines in everything from straight drama to black comedy, John Pirruccello's Everyman appeal allows him to inhabit an intriguing and diverse array of characters on both stage and screen.

​

John works in theatre, stand-up, sketch comedy, film, and television. His many television roles include PI Nick Stavros in HBO's Phil Spector with Al Pacino and Helen Mirren (2013); corrupt and arrogant Deputy Chad Broxford in Showtime's Twin Peaks: The Return (2017); rogue cop O'Grady in FX's Mayans MC (2019 and 2021); and bitter divorcé police detective John Loach for two seasons in Alec Berg and Bill Hader's HBO dark comedy Barry (2018 and 2019), for which he was twice nominated with the cast for a SAG Award.

​

His numerous guest-starring appearances include: the clueless Riley's Dad in the offbeat FX television series Better Things with Pamela Adlon (2019); the smarmy Stu in the Hulu TV mini-series Little Fires Everywhere with Reese Witherspoon (2020); and Larry David's cheapskate golfing buddy Dennis in the 11th season premiere of Emmy award-winning HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm (2021).

​

John appears as Stegman opposite Eugenio Derbez and Samara Weaving in the Hulu original comedy film The Valet (2022) and the Marvel series She-Hulk (2022) opposite Tatiana Maslany and Tim Roth.
