While there, McDonald created several popular characters - most notably man-child Stuart Larkin, Marvin Tikkvah, Rusty Miller, and Mofaz, the Depressed Persian Tow Truck Man.In 2007, McDonald left "MADtv" to work both behind and in front of the camera on a variety of television shows and in film. He co-starred in all three "Austin Powers" films, has appeared on every season of "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" and guest-starred on the hit series "Scrubs" and "Desperate Housewives." McDonald was a writer, director, and producer for several seasons of "Cougar Town" and has directed episodes of the hit series "2 Broke Girls," "Scrubs," "MADtv" and "7th Heaven."
