As an actor, Stamatopoulos is best known for his recurring role as the character Alex "Star-Burns" Osbourne on the NBC comedy series ''Community'', on which he also worked behind the scenes as a producer and consulting writer. ==Career== While at Ridgewood High School, Stamatopoulos wrote for his school variety show and was astounded he could get laughs with the material he had written. While attending Columbia College Chicago he performed a duo act with comedian Andy Dick, in which Stamatopoulos played a ventriloquist and Dick played a dummy under the influence of sleeping pills. Stamatopoulos had written a spec script for a ''Simpsons'' episode, just out of love for the show, and Dick convinced him to submit it to ''The Ben Stiller Show'', which got him hired. He met and worked with Bob Odenkirk. After Stiller's show was canceled, he moved to New York and joined the writing staff of ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', also with Odenkirk. During the '90s he wrote for ''Late Show with David Letterman'', ''The Dana Carvey Show'' and ''Mr. Show with Bob and David''. In 2000 Stamatopoulos and Robert Smigel pitched Comedy Central a spin-off of Smigel's ''TV Funhouse'' Saturday Night Live cartoons which would be a half-hour sketch comedy show. ''TV Funhouse'' premiered on 2000 and was canceled after one season. He later joined the writing staff on ''Mad TV''. Stamatopoulos worked as a creative consultant and contributing writer on the first season of ''Tom Goes to the Mayor'', with Tim & Eric and Bob Odenkirk. He also provided the voice of Drinky Crow on ''The Drinky Crow Show'', which aired for one season on Adult Swim. His stop motion animated series ''Moral Orel'' premiered on Adult Swim on Christmas 2005 and aired for three seasons, airing its final episode in December 2008; a followup special aired in 2012. Following ''Moral Orel'', Stamatopoulos created a new stop motion series for Adult Swim entitled ''Mary Shelley's Frankenhole'', which ran for two seasons from 2010 to 2012. Stamatopoulos was a writer and producer on the NBC sitcom ''Community''. He also played the recurring role of "Star-Burns", a character whose nickname derived from large star-shaped sideburns. A long-time fan of radio personality Steve Dahl, Stamatopoulos hosted a podcast called "Sorry About Everything" from May 2012 until June 2013 on Dahl's Steve Dahl Network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dino Stamatopoulos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
