He has also appeared several films and series such as “Blades of Glory” (2007) with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, “Balls of Fury” (2007) starring Dan Fogler, George Lopez, Christopher Walken, and Maggie Q, and in an episode of “Everybody Hates Chris” (2007), which successes have also added a considerable amount to his overall wealth.
