His live-action credits include the Rooster Teeth Productions live-action shorts and Immersion.[1] Gus was a founding member of Rooster Teeth Productions, coming from Drunkgamers with Burnie Burns and Geoff Ramsey. One of the videos produced by Drunkgamers was a live-action parody of the Apple Switch ad campaign, which featured Sorola as the main actor, and used Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as background music, focusing on the lack of games available for the Apple Macintosh computer.[2]

He is the primary IT professional at Rooster Teeth Productions. He also runs the company's podcast called "The Rooster Teeth Podcast" formerly known as the "Drunk Tank Podcast", which is currently the number 12 comedy podcast on iTunes. [3]
