Everything to Know About Mr. Throwback Star Adam Pally
From Happy Endings to The Mandalorian, Pally's enjoyed quite the varied career.
You've seen him as a Stormtrooper with poor aim and as a good-hearted deputy looking out for an extraterrestrial hedgehog. Now, get ready to see Adam Pally as a down-on-his-luck memorabilia salesman looking to get an assist from NBA legend Steph Curry in the new comedy series Mr. Throwback, which debuts on Peacock later this week.
Taking the form of an Office-style mockumentary, the comedy follows NBA All-Star and Team USA Olympian Curry, who reunites with a fictional middle school friend by the name of Danny Grossman (Pally) after decades apart. During their middle school days, Danny was an ace basketball player, but has since fallen on hard times. Taking pity on his old teammate, Curry convinces a less-than-enthusiastic documentary crew to chronicle Grossman's life instead of his own. Hijinks invariably ensue.

In the years since, Pally has gone on to appear in everything from Iron Man 3 and and BoJack Horseman to Sonic the Hedgehog and The Mandalorian. While his foray into the Star Wars universe was brief and nearly anonymous, Pally gained plenty of recognition for his portrayal as the member of an incompetent Scout Trooper duo (the second one was played by Saturday Night Live vet Jason Sudeikis).
He currently enjoys a recurring gig as Tom Wachowski's lovable Green Hills deputy, Wade Whipple, in the Sonic franchise, recently reprising the role for the Knuckles-centric limited series.
