Jimmy Dunn (born [when?]) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. According to The Portsmouth Herald, he is known for his portrayal of the "big, loud, dumb guy".[1] In 2014, he was cast in the CBS sitcom The McCarthys.[2] Nine years later he joined the cast of the 2023 reboot of Frasier on Paramount+. He grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts, and attributed his roles in these shows - in part - to his Boston roots, where both shows are set. Other factors include his experience in playing "chubby and dim" characters, which he described as his main strength.[3] He currently resides in Hampton, New Hampshire.[1]
