Carter is a failed animator who has settled into a life of boring academia. He goes to his doctor and finds out he has only 6 months to live. What will he do with his time left? Not much, it turns out. David Krumholtz embodies the deeply sardonic deadbeat who is already so indifferent to life that it doesn't really affect him much. The most unsurprising part is that it lives up to its name.
Bob Byington (Somebody Up There Likes Me) is an interesting indie filmmaker who I respect a lot more than most of his output. His films have been labeled "mumblecore" because they're mostly dialogue-driven, but I value the amount of weirdness he imbues in his characters, even when it's not a total success.

Feel like I haven't seen hide nor hair of Krumholtz since Numbers or Harold and Kumar. I guess also Serenity but that was also forever ago. :P

OHHHH SHIT!!! A new contender has emerged! Hey IU, long time no "see"! The band is indeed getting back together again. :D
Anyway, Krumholtz had a brief blink-and-miss role in Oppenheimer. He also did a weird show on IFC years back which I kind of dug called "Gigi Does It." But yeah, he seems mostly confined to smaller appearances, unfortunately.
Check him out in Scorched. It has Rachael, in an INCREDIBLY tiny role, but it's brilliant. Also, John Cleese, Woody Harrelson, Paulo Costanzo. Alicia Silverstone..if you must =P
