Comedian's Viral Fame Fuels Hollywood Roles

Evan Mulrooney has successfully carved a niche by balancing viral social media content creation with traditional Hollywood productions. His presence has been noted in shows like 'Only Murders in the Building' and 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars,' alongside his own online sketches.

His journey to 'Drag Race' began with a direct message on TikTok from a producer, leading to an invitation to guest judge. Mulrooney, who initially believed he would assist with a challenge, was surprised by the judging role and later returned as an honorary Pit Crew member.

Prior to his social media surge, Mulrooney had already appeared in series such as 'Justified: City Primeval,' 'Dexter: Resurrection,' and 'Fargo.' He began creating online videos post-pandemic as a way to stay relevant and comfortable on camera.

Mulrooney acknowledges the growing trend of social media personalities transitioning into traditional media, noting the shift in industry perception. He feels his online persona is now an asset, enhancing his comedic actor and comedian identity rather than being a limitation.

He also navigates the complexities of labels, including bisexuality and content creation, finding acceptance for his multifaceted identity. Mulrooney recently took on a role in 'Stop! That! Train!' and appeared on Grindr's podcast 'Who's the Ahole?'
