Mitch Rouse's 'Factory' Life on Spike TV

Tennessee native Mitch Rouse is one of the four stars on Factory, Spike TV's first original comedy series. The improv series follows the lives of four beer-drinking friends who work in a local factory and, according to Spike TV, "When not figuring out new ways to avoid doing their jobs, the guys are usually trying to appease their wives and girlfriends, without great success. When a work-related accident creates a job opening, the guys have to decide who should get the promotion, which unfortunately might require actual work."

Rouse is the Factory's co-creator and this is not the first time he has helped put together a show. Notably, along with Second City friends Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, and Stephen Colbert, he is co-creator of the 1999 Comedy Central television series Strangers with Candy. Recently, Rouse also wrote and directed the 2004 film Employee of the Month, starring Matt Dillon and Christina Applegate.

Rouse has also appeared on According to Jim as Dr. Ryan Gibson, and Reno 911!

You can catch Rouse in the straight-to-DVD Get Smart spinoff Get Smart: Bruce and Lloyd Out Of Control, which is available in stores on July 1. His co-star Masi Oka, who plays Bruce, stopped by the CW11 last week.
