Known for his parodies of Frank Sinatra, which were featured in the films "Vegas Vacation" and "Down Periscope", Huss has created a Sinatra-inspired character named Rudy Casoni.In the early nineties, he appeared in network promos for MTV, playing odd characters, including a crooner known at the time as Ol' Two Eyes (the predecessor to Rudy Casoni) who sang lounge-singer versions of Dr. Dre's Dre Day, Cypress Hill's Insane in the Brain, and rap group Onyx's hit "Slam"; a James Bond-like spy named Cobalt; a kinky, black leather-clad man with an abnormal affection for goats; a flannel-wearing doofus, and an angry redneck who went on fast-talking, nonsensical tirades that usually ended with, "Go to Hell!"
