Brian Sack (born 1968) is an American writer and actor. Sack is a graduate of Ithaca College in New York and lives in New York City.

He is the author of "In the Event of My Untimely Demise: 20 Things My Son Needs to Know" (HarperCollins, 2008) [cite book| last=Sack | first=Brian | title=In the Event of My Untimely Demise: 20 Things My Son Needs to Know | publisher=HarperCollins | year=2008| isbn=9780061374302] .

Sack has written for "Radar", "The Independent", "CRACKED", "Glamour", "Fusion Magazine", and "McSweeney's Internet Tendency".

He appears on "Glenn Beck on Headline News", a daily television program on CNN Headline News where he serves as comedic relief and the show's "Public Viewer", taking host Beck to task on a variety of subjects. He is also a contributor on CNN Headline's "Not Just Another Cable News Show".

He can be heard in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV as host "Mike Riley" of the Public Liberty Radio network's "Intelligent Agenda" program.

Sack and musician John Mayer collaborated on a comedy short titled "The Paul Reddy Show." The half-hour comedy appears on Mayer's Heavier Things DualDisc. Sack's clueless "Paul Reddy" character was based on PBS mainstay Charlie Rose and peppers Mayer with outlandish and often absurd questions.

In September 2005 Sack penned an eBay listing titled "DKNY Men's Leather Pants I Unfortunately Own" which achieved a record 3.4 million hits and appeared in newspapers worldwide including the The Guardian, New York Daily News, The Independent and Women's Wear Daily.
