Actor David Krumholtz, a staple in zany Hollywood comedies for over a decade, has taken to Twitter to address speculation over his considerable weight gain. But first, some background. The usually petite Krumholtz is one of those actors with a recognizable face but little name recognition. Usually cast as a bit player, you’ve definitely seen him in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You<\/em> and Superbad<\/em>, and the television shows Freaks & Geeks<\/em> and Numb3rs<\/em>. If you’re still not tracking, this picture should clear it up:<\/p>\n

Much better. Funny guy, right? After tweeting a link to an on-camera interview early Wednesday afternoon, Krumholtz’s followers bombarded him with questions regarding his disheveled and portly appearance. His response was crass, veiled, and unclear.<\/p>\n

I’ve gained the weight for a role, folks. I got a nutritionist monitoring my calorie intake & all that stupid shit that is not true I’m fat.<\/p>\n

He’s either gained the weight for a role or he’s just poking fun at himself. After a quick scan of IMDB.com, I learned that the only project he’s currently working on is a small part in a film called The Judge,<\/em> with A-listers Robert Downey Jr.<\/a><\/strong>, Robert Duvall, and Leighton Meester. Details about his character in the film weren’t readily available. Deep in to the interview he linked in the aforementioned tweet, he finally shed some light on his rotund new look. Here’s a clip of the interview synced up to when he makes a reference to his weight gain.<\/p>\n
