He has been nominated for five Emmy Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The actor, who recently separated from his actress/comedienne wife Amy Poehler after nine years of marriage, has two children. He is also one of the lead roles in the NBC comedy “Up All Night” opposite Christina Applegate. The network has not yet said whether the show will be renewed for the fall.
