Ouzts' recent credits include Netflix's "Master of None," "Like Father," opposite Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer, and "Set It Up," opposite Zoey Deutch and Lucy Liu. Additional credits include TruTV's "Comedy Knockout," MTV's "SafeWord" and "Wild 'N Out." Ouzts will also be in the upcoming film "We Are Unsatisfied," opposite Billy Crystal.
