Jimmy Dunn (born) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. According to The Portsmouth Herald, he is known for his portrayal of the "big, loud, dumb guy".[1] In 2014, he was cast in the CBS sitcom The McCarthys.[2] Nine years later he joined the cast of the 2023 reboot of Frasier on Paramount+. He grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts, and attributed his roles in these shows - in part - to his Boston roots, where both shows are set.
