Friedlander is so good playing dimwits that he even infused comedy into the mute role of Derek's coal-mining brother Scrappy in the (underrated, y'all) Zoolander.

Even more successful than Giamatti are Davis as wife Joyce and the inimitable Judah Friedlander as Toby Radloff, a Pekar co-worker and self-professed nerd whose monologues on jellybeans and Revenge of the Nerds rank as some of this year's cinematic highlights.
Friedlander's portrayal is so over the top that just when you're ready to dismiss him as a total caricature, poof, out pops the real Toby Radloff in one of the behind-the-scenes sequences, proving just how exact Friedlander's performance is. The man deserves an Oscar.
The rest of the film hinges on its self-referential, circuitous storytelling method, which is fascinating and groundbreaking, but which ultimately masks the fact that Pekar's story is as simple and plain as he has always proclaimed.

Judah Friedlander is the kind of guy who seems to pop up everywhere.
For his work playing the ultra-nerd Toby in “American Splendor,” Judah was named one of the best performers of 2003 by The New York Times Magazine and was one of USA Today’s picks for best supporting actor.
But, with so many of his accomplishments, Judah shrugs this off with a modest, “that was cool.” I suppose that that best sums up Friedlander as a person; a guy who knows he has done very well but would rather exaggerate it beyond belief, even mock it than brag about it.

 American Splendor Review (2003)
The scene in which they go on their first 'date' is deliciously awkward, starting with a row in a restaurant and ending with Joyce vomiting back at Pekar's apartment before announcing that they should skip courtship and just get married.
Elsewhere, the nearest person that Harvey has to a friend — workmate and über-nerd Toby Radloff — is played by Judah Friedlander; it seems that Friedlander is performing a grotesquely over-the-top caricature, until the real Toby steps into the frame and — godammit — the guy really is like that.
The moment in which Toby explains to Harvey why that long-forgotten movie 'classic' Revenge of the Nerds has changed his life is a definite highlight.
