Toby Radloff (born December 12, 1957) is a former file clerk and actor who became a minor celebrity owing to his appearances in Cleveland writer Harvey Pekar's autobiographical comic book series American Splendor.
[2][3] Television profiles of Pekar at work at the VA Hospital, in which Radloff appeared, led to Radloff being featured as a "special correspondent" in a few short comedic pieces on MTV in the late 1980s[4] about Cleveland and White Castle hamburgers (a particular favorite of Radloff's).
[3] In 2006, a documentary on Radloff entitled Genuine Nerd was released, produced by Wayne Alan Harold, the creator of Radloff's original MTV segments (and co-director of the Killer Nerd films).
[9][10] In June 2020, Radloff started appearing in Wayne Alan Harold's web series Cheapskate Theater.
In the videos, Radloff humorously reviews vintage horror and science-fiction movies.
