Jim Turner (comedian)

Jim Turner is an American actor and comedian born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1952. His Father, George Turner, was in the Air Force and the family moved around often to places including Quebec, Arizona and Iowa. He married Lynn Freer in 1992 and they have a son. A long time member of the comedy troupe Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre, he is best known for his 7 seasons co-starring in HBO's hit comedy series "Arliss" as lovable lout, Kirby Carlisle. Playing an ex-football-star-turned-agent and an old buddy of sports agent Arliss Michaels (Robert Wuhl).

In 22 Feature Films and shorts, 28 TV Series and appearances, and 18 stage plays, one-man-shows and comedy tours, Turner has the odd distinction of creating the weirdest group of cult favorites imaginable, from pinheads to Pinocchio. He has worked with talents like Joel Schumacher, Robert Wuhl, Jack Black, Paul Bartel and Tracey Ullman.

From 1987-1990 on MTV, Turner played a character adapted from his days with Duck's Breath, Randee of the Redwoods. Randee became the dark horse candidate for President, thanks to MTV's marketing department.
