Dan Mintz (born April 1, 1981; Anchorage, Alaska) is an American comedian, writer, and actor. He is known for his extremely deadpan delivery, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead and never looking toward the camera or audience. He is one of a few stand-up comedians (such as Henny Youngman, Steven Wright, Demitri Martin and Mitch Hedberg) to use non sequitur one-liners in his act.[citation needed]
He landed his first writing job at Comedy Central's Crank Yankers, then worked on Last Call with Carson Daly. He's been writing for The Andy Milonakis Show, Human Giant, Lucky Louie, and Important Things with Demetri Martin.
