Biography
editOriginally from Philadelphia,[1] Lublin graduated from Syracuse University in 1999.[2]
Lublin has studied improvisational comedy with The Groundlings, The Second City, and iO West.[3] He does voice work, including animation, commercials, and video games. He voiced a lead character in the animated series Slammo & Sloshie. Since 2006, Lublin has been featured in a video series for Symantec as Hal, The IT Admin.[4]
Lublin co-creates UN-imations with Len Peralta, which are improvised pieces of art in which Lublin provides a voice and Peralta must create a drawing from scratch based upon that voice.[5]
It was announced in September 2015 that Lublin would be appearing in season six of The Venture Bros.[6]
He is a frequent guest on EW Radio's L.A. Daily on Sirius XM.[7]
Podcasts
editLublin has been a WorkJuice player on the Thrilling Adventure Hour starting in 2005, when it started as a stage show at M Bar in Los Angeles, through the end of its formal run in 2015.[8] His roles included the announcer for the segment Beyond Belief, Gummy to Craig Cackowski's Banjo in Mooonshine Holler,[9] Phillip Fathom, and numerous other recurring characters.
In October 2013 Lublin joined the popular podcast Welcome to Night Vale, first voicing Steve Carlsberg in a live episode performed in Brooklyn.[1] Lublin has also been a frequent guest in The David Feldman Show.[10]
Lublin and fellow WorkJuice Player Mark Gagliardi launched We Got This with Mark and Hal, a podcast in which the two provide definitive answers to pointless debates,[11] in February 2015.[12][13] In July 2015 the podcast joined the Maximum Fun podcast network.[14]
Lublin also hosts a weekly wrestling podcast Tights and Fights, which wraps up the week in wrestling, covering major events and storylines. In a 2017 article, The Comeback stated: "These are people who genuinely enjoy pro wrestling from a storytelling perspective, but who also want to dig into what's going on behind the scenes and off-screen as well."[15]
