Career

Comedy

Sullivan is best known for his character Kelly, who is portrayed by a cross-dressing Sullivan and released an album entitled Shoes. He won the 2008 People's Choice Award for User Generated Video for the Kelly music video "Shoes". Kelly's music videos have featured guest stars such as Margaret Cho, Amanda Palmer, Dave Navarro, Lisa Nova, and Ask a Ninja. Another of Sullivan's characters, Kelly's aunt Susan Walker, also released the country album Susan Walker's Greatest Tits. He has also worked as an editor for Smosh. In 2016, he made an appearance on the Fine Brothers' YouTube channel in a video called "YouTubers react to Shoes (Viral Video Classic)". In 2020, he posted his first YouTube video in seven years called "Masks", returning to the Kelly character in a sketch parodying "Shoes" and encouraging people to wear face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sullivan has uploaded and deleted his music videos several times, so it is somewhat unclear exactly when they were released, which confuses the order and the number of views they have received. Other YouTube users have also reuploaded the videos and received millions of views, further distorting the numbers.

Acting

In 1997, Sullivan briefly appeared in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Reptile Boy" as a cross-dressing fraternity pledge. In 2000, he starred as Brant in the horror film The Convent. In 2004, he appeared in the 8 Simple Rules episodes "Mall in the Family" and "Finale Part Un" as Zack; in 2005, he returned in the episode "Freaky Friday" as Dorkie Dwaine McDoogle. Later that year, he appeared in the Gilmore Girls episode "Wedding Bellblues" as a photographer. In 2007, he appeared as Kelly in The Dresden Dolls' music video for "Shores of California". He also appeared as Kelly in the VH1 series I Hate My 30's, performing "Forget It, Just Get It!"

In 2008, Sullivan appeared as Kelly in the Weezer music video for "Pork and Beans", which also featured many other internet stars. He also appeared at the LOGO Network's NewNowNext Awards as Kelly, and opened for Margaret Cho's "Beautiful" Tour throughout the year, playing Kelly and several other characters. In 2010, his song "My Romantic Pattern" was featured in the season 1 episode "One Cold Swim Away" of the comedy drama Gravity.
