SETH GREEN
Seasons 3 and 5
Tapping into his inner frat boy, Green recurs as Eric's girlfriend-coveting nemesis, who's so slimy he gets sucker-punched twice — and deserves it both times. Convincingly jackassy, he leads a posse of howling yes-men...Oh, my God, he's Bizarro Vince! A-

ANNA FARIS
Season 4
After a fender bender with Eric (Kevin Connolly), Faris ends up hiring him as her manager. He butts heads with her jealous, micromanaging boyfriend but always gives her straight advice. Thank goodness he didn't talk her out of The House Bunny, though. B+

It's a deadly drive-by mocking. B
