Billy Eichner joined "Parks and Rec" in its sixth season as Craig Middleton, per HuffPost. The comedian is best known for "Billy on the Street," Fuse TV's pop culture quiz show held on the streets of New York City. In 2015, Eichner joined fellow comedian Julie Klausner for Hulu's celebrated series, "Difficult People," playing characters based on their real lives — aspiring comics trying to make ends meet with their respective side hustles, per Deadline.

Eichner's role as Felix, a fertility doctor, in Netflix's "Friends From College" gave the actor a chance to show his range in a more nuanced, subdued role, per Bustle. In 2017, he took a bold leap, joining the cast of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story." "I get to be dramatic and violent and sexual," the actor told Entertainment Tonight. "People may not be prepared to see that side of me." In 2022, Eichner made history with his groundbreaking film "Bros," the first gay rom-com from a major motion picture studio, per NBC News.

Eichner plays Bobby, a podcast host who falls head over heels for Aaron, a hunky lawyer portrayed by Hallmark Channel star Luke Macfarlane. "Ninety percent of gay stories involve someone coming out of the closet for the first time," he explained to GQ. "And I'm like, no, no, no. [Bros] is the opposite. These guys may have their emotional hang-ups and intimacy issues, but as sexual human beings, these guys are forty-year-old gay men in Manhattan. They f***."
