I think the first thing I ever saw him in was That Thing You Do, so I always associate him with that. Which is a great movie, by the way.
Episode 4 felt like mostly filler. They did move some of the relationships forward between characters, but that could have been accomplished in 5 minutes without feeling like a Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle series of unfortunate events to fill an episode. Hopefully the last 2 episodes finish strong.
