Lou Myers
Seen across enough titles, Lou Myers turns into a familiar face known to audiences from a long list of titles rather than from one. The first credits arrived long before the title most people know. Most of the work sits in comedy. The filmography runs to some 25 credits between film and television. The film 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does. 'The Wedding Planner' is close behind in visibility.
