Christopher Nash Elliott made a name for himself in the mid-1980’s as a writer and performer for the “Late Night with David Letterman” US television program. All of the characters he portrayed were edgy and strange.

As “The Guy Under the Seats”, Elliott lived under the seats in the theater where the show was shot. He would emerge. engage the host in conversation, become agitated and then angry, finally threatening to make Letterman’s life “a living hell”. He parodied Marlon Brando as a man losing his mind, doing the “Banana Dance” to the tune of “Alley Cat”. “Chris Elliott, Jr.” was a spoof of then-popular TV show host Morton Downey, Jr.

While he never came up with an “Inspector Clueless” character, he did portray “The Regulator Guy”, a spoof of “The Terminator”; “The Fugitive Guy”, mocking TV’s “The Fugitive” series; “The Panicky Guy’, a slam of horror movies, in which he, as an ersatz studio-audience fan, sees danger in next to nothing and runs from the studio, only to be crushed by a floor-waxing machine; and “The Conspiracy Guy”, who would accuse Letterman of crazy scheems and plots and be dragged out of the studio by security guards.

He was born on May 31, 1960, on the Upper East Side of New York, New York, to Bob Elliott, half of the comedy team Bob and Ray, and Lee Peppers Elliott, a model and television producer. He has appeared often on TV and in films and, as of 2017, stars as Roland Schitt in “Schitt’s Creek” on the CBS television network.
