He also appeared as a nurse in Crank (2006), and reprised the role in its 2009 sequel, Crank: High Voltage. He planned to be executive producing on the comedy show Boldly Going Nowhere with his It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creators. Howerton had a recurring voice role on The Cleveland Show as Ernie Krinklesac, as well as recurring roles on the Fox comedy series The Mindy Project[6] and the FX dark comedy series Fargo.[7] He starred in the 2013 comedy film Coffee Town.
