Eric Wareheim (born April 7, 1976) is an American actor, comedian, writer and director. He is one half of the comedy team of Tim and Eric. Wareheim, along with Tim Heidecker, created the television shows Tom Goes to the Mayor, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job and Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule.
Wareheim attended Temple University, where he met his comedy partner Tim Heidecker. Wareheim and Heidecker are the creators, writers, and stars of Tom Goes to the Mayor, a limited animation that was on the Adult Swim programming block on Cartoon Network. Wareheim and Heidecker had mailed copies of an early version of the show to comedian Bob Odenkirk, who agreed to take on the project as the executive producer of the series and sold it to Cartoon Network. Wareheim played "The Mayor", an official who always managed to destroy Tom's well-intentioned plans often along with the entire town as well. Heidecker and Wareheim's most recent show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, premiered February 11, 2007 on Adult Swim. The show is a mix of "live action, sketch, animation, emotions, phone calls, love, etc." according to their website. Wareheim played in several Philadelphia area bands, including the new wave punk band Twelve Tone System, of which Tim Heidecker was also briefly a member. Wareheim was also the principal songwriter for The Science Of and had been a member of Elements of Need, I Am Heaven, and briefly with the Vampire-themed punk band Ink & Dagger. He currently is involved with the band Sola. Wareheim has directed several music videos, including "Polite Dance Song" by Los Angeles indie pop duo The Bird and the Bee, "The Youth" by MGMT, "She's Got Me Dancing" by Tommy Sparks, a remix of Maroon 5's "If I Never See Your Face Again", as well as a video titled "Dance Floor Dale" for Flying Lotus' "Parisian Goldfish". He and Tim Heidecker also directed and starred in the video for "You Don't Know Me" by Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor) Wareheim and Heidecker (along with comedian and frequent "Awesome Show" guest Zach Galifianakis) created marketing videos for Absolut Vodka. Wareheim and Heidecker appeared together as Debt Collectors on the Adult Swim special, The Young Persons Guide to History and have made guest appearances in the movie Let's Go to Prison, as well as the Scottish video game series VideoGaiden and a Version 2 episode of Mega64. Wareheim also played a recurring role in Michael Cera's and Clark Duke's Internet TV show Clark and Michael as Randy, the neighbor of the titular duo. Wareheim along with Tim Heidecker appeared on FOX's Talkshow with Spike Feresten on February 16, 2008 and May 16, 2009 and on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on April 14, 2009. Wareheim, along with Tim Heidecker, also directed the 2010 Super Bowl commercial, The Shuffle, for Boost Mobile and most recently a series of Old Spice commercials with actor Terry Crews. Using characters and skits from Awesome Show, Heidecker and Wareheim (via their Absolutely production company) created a online-only show called Tim and Eric Nite Live!, originally broadcast on the website SuperDeluxe. In July 2008, the New York Times reported that an Awesome Show spin-off, Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, would air on Cartoon Network beginning some time in 2009. The show parodies local newscasts, and as Heidecker briefly described it: "It's like his half-hour to go around town and interview the local beer-maker or whatever." The show will have an episode run time of approximately 11 minutes, and it will feature John C. Reilly reprising his role as Dr. Steve Brule. According to Heidecker, Reilly had the original idea of giving the Dr. Steve character an entire show. Vanity Fair reported that the program would begin airing on August 23, 2009; however, the program did not air on that date, and LA Weekly reported in September 2009 that Check It Out! is currently "forthcoming." The show finally began on May 16th, 2010, two weeks after the finale of the Awesome Show's fifth season. In the same July 2008 New York Times article, it was reported that the duo was in the process of developing a surreal game show series starring Neil Hamburger, titled The New Big Ball with Neil Hamburger. Wareheim described it as a mix between "Japanese bizarre game show and The Price Is Right." In late July 2009, Neil Hamburger posted a blog on MySpace stating that a pilot had been filmed, but that Adult Swim was not satisfied and had "pulled the plug on the project."
