He’s lent his voice to such animated series as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Big Mouth, and most recently produced and hosted the Give Back-ular Spectacular, which raised $500,000 for crew members and support staff impacted by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Scheer’s memoir, Joyful Recollections of Trauma, is due for release by Harper Collins next year. The multi-hyphenate continues to be repped by UTA, Sechel PR, and Schreck Rose Dapello.
