Seth Garfunkel
​​Seth grew up just outside of Boston, MA but has spent most of his
professional life on the West coast in Los Angeles. After
attending Boston University, he decided to move West by way of a
wild cross country drive and a 2-year stint on a dude ranch in
Yosemite. Once in LA, he studied acting at the Stella Adler Acting
Conservatory. After focusing on Comedy, mostly Improv and some
Stand up, he moved over to writing and producing. He has produced,
written, and acted in over 25 independent projects from
documentaries to commercials to television pilots to short films. He wrote a series of promos for NBC Universal, worked for Blue Collar Comedy, and hosted a weekly sports radio program called The Saturday Night Special. He was also a contributor for the Daily Upper Decker podcast. He strongly believes the world would be a better place if more people traveled.
