Jason Mantzoukas has played a long list of crazy characters: Parks And Recreation’s Dennis Feinstein, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Adrian Pimento, The Good Place’s (admittedly lovable) Derek. But his most iconic role is arguably Rafi on FX’s The League. He’s become so recognizable in that role that fans often don’t distinguish the larger-than-life caricature from the very normal man playing him. So Mantzoukas wants to reiterate to fans that he’s just acting crazy.
