Mark Proksch

Mark Proksch is an American comedian, actor and prankster. He is perhaps best known for a series of pranks he played on television news stations under the pseudonym "Kenny Strasser" or, as he would sometimes refer to himself, "K-Strass." Proksch would contact local news stations claiming to be a yo-yo expert. When he was booked on a show he would befuddle the interviewers with his long, rambling monologues and his inability to perform any real yo-yo tricks. Eventually, Proksch's string of pranks across the Midwest were uncovered when it was noticed that "K-Strass" bore a strong resemblance to the comedian Proksch who was known for his work with the Found Footage Festival. Proksch's exploits gained him a wide audience and made him an overnite YouTube star. Since his work as a prankster, Proksch has taken on a recurring role on the television series The Office (U.S.) as Nate, Dwight Schrute's handyman.
