Joe Lo Truglio

Joe Lo Truglio Headshot

Actor • Comedian

Birth Name: Joseph Lo Truglio

Birth Date: December 2, 1970

Age: 54 years old

Birth Place: Ozone Park, New York

Joe Lo Truglio may not have been the flashiest member of the '90s sketch comedy troupe The State, but his amiable goofiness and try-anything approach has served him well. After joining the NYU-based group in the late 1980s, Lo Truglio made the jump from stage to screen, appearing in all three seasons of the group's groundbreaking show "The State" (MTV, 1992-95).

Lo Truglio's dry, sarcastic nature found him work as a character actor on such shows as the Comedy Central sketch series "Upright Citizen's Brigade" (1998-2000) before he reunited with many of his former State cast members in the cult summer comedy "Wet Hot American Summer" (2001). After a string of appearances on "Wainy Days" (My Damn Channel, 2007- ), Lo Truglio turned in a memorable role in the blockbuster hit "Superbad" (2007), and produced and starred in the soap opera parody "Horrible People" (My Damn Channel, 2008).

The late 2000s saw Lo Truglio expand even farther. He portrayed a manic driver in the breakout hit "Superbad," and was cast opposite Paul Rudd as an enthusiastic role-playing knight in "Role Models" before playing a nosy teacher in "Pineapple Express." That same year he teamed up with "The Ten" actor A.D. Miles to produce and star in "Horrible People," a web series that parodied soap opera excess.

He returned to the big screen with a supporting role as an inept police officer in the alien buddy comedy "Paul" (2011) and bared all as a commune member in "Wanderlust" (2012) before joining Ken Marino's dating parody series "Burning Love" (E! 2013-14) and voicing a drunken toy soldier in the animated hit "Wreck-It Ralph" (2012). In 2013, Lo Truglio scored his highest profile television role yet as hapless New York police detective Charles Boyle in the squadroom comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (Fox 2013-18; NBC 2018- ), starring Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher.
