Stage and screen star Josh Gad is still blown away by the success of FROZEN, the film for which he voiced one of Disney's newest favorites, Olaf. Gad told Metro: "Frozen. People stop me on the street for an animated character, where they don't even see my face, on a daily basis." He continued: "It's two years later and it's still as popular. All of us - Idina [Menzel], Kristen [Bell], Jonathan [Groff], myself - we all pinch ourselves every day that we were a part of it."

Gad will next be seen in FX's newest series, THE COMEDIANS, which will make its television debut on April 5, 2015. Gad starred, co-created and executive produced the 2012 NBC comedy series 1600 PENN and has appeared on Broadway in THE BOOK OF MORMON, for which he received a Tony nomination and THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE.

Led by Tony Award-winner Billy Crystal and Tony nominee Josh Gad, THE COMEDIANS will have 8 episodes, with air times set for 10pm ET. In the series, Crystal plays a comedy legend who is reluctantly paired with Gad, an edgier up-and-coming star, in an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show where egos and generations collide. Stephnie Weir stars as 'Kristen Laybourne,' the anxiety-ridden producer behind The Billy & Josh Show who frequently finds herself caught in the middle of Billy and Josh's arguments, Matt Oberg stars as 'Mitch Reed,' the show's head writer, and Megan Ferguson stars 'Esme McCauley,' a no-nonsense production assistant.
