The meek and scrawny Kyle was a sight gag in and of himself, but though he had some lows (eating adulterated French toast being the most memorable), he also ended up with Rhonda’s leopard-print underpants as a souvenir from the best night of his life to date.
After Road Trip, his movie debut, DJ Qualls starred in his own bro comedy, 2002’s The New Guy, but is mainly known for supporting appearances in the likes of Hustle & Flow and TV shows including Lost, Criminal Minds, My Name Is Earl, The Big Bang Theory, Breaking Bad, Supernatural, Fargo and The Man in the High Castle, on which he was a regular for three seasons.
He also reprised the role of Kyle in 2009’s direct-to-DVD sequel Road Trip: Beer Pong.
After sharing with an audience that he was gay during one of his pal Jim Jeffries‘ stand-up shows (in 2013 Qualls starred in Legit, a sitcom co-created by Jeffries), Qualls took to Twitter in January 2020 to write, “It is 11:20pm. I just came out on stage at a @jimjefferies show in San Diego. Yep, I’m gay. Been gay this whole time. Tired of worrying about what people would think of me. Tired of worrying about what it would do to my career.”
His most recent credit is a few episodes of Chuck Lorre‘s HBO comedy Bookie.
