No Respect: Colton Dunn, Who’s Been in 102 Episodes of “Superstore,” Has to Remind Production Assistant Who He Is

Share

Actor-writer-director Colton Dunn has played Garrett on NBC’s “Superstore” for five seasons, or 102 episodes.

But when he signed for a virtual production meeting, whoever was accepting the invites to the Zoom meeting didn’t know who he was.

Dunn Tweeted a picture of the message. “Hello, I don’t recognize this name. Can you please let me know how you are related to the show?” a P.A. texted him.

Dunn, with great restraint, wrote back: “I play Garrett.”

Stupid is everywhere these days. But in Hollywood, this is par for the course. Maybe the PA should watch the show.

Dunn has a long and impressive career resume, with runs on “Park and Recreation” and “Key and Peele.”
