Career


Diamantopoulos began appearing in TV commercials and professional theatre productions at the age of 9 and by the time he turned 18, he had left home to partake in a series of U.S. national tours.[1] A short time later, he worked on Broadway where he played leading parts in The Full Monty (2002) and Les Misérables (2003).[2] Diamantopoulos attended East York Collegiate Institute.


He portrayed Robin Williams in Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy alongside co-star Erinn Hayes. He has guest-starred in several series, including Kevin Hill, Charmed, The Sopranos, Nip/Tuck and Boston Legal. In 2007, he appeared opposite Debra Messing in The Starter Wife, where he played the role of Rodney, the interior decorator.


Diamantopoulos had a recurring role on State of Mind. He also guest-voiced on American Dad! in 2009.


On the eighth season of 24, he played US President Allison Taylor's Chief of Staff Rob Weiss. He played Frank Sinatra in The Kennedys. Diamantopoulos played Moe Howard in the 2012 The Three Stooges film.


He had recurring roles on the NBC sitcoms Up All Night, as Maya Rudolph's on and off lover, Julian; The Office, as Brian, a former member of the show's documentary film crew; and on Arrested Development, as Marky, Lindsay's face-blind environmentalist boyfriend. He is also the voice of Mickey Mouse for the eponymous animated series.[3]


He has recently featured in the UK/US television sitcom Episodes playing the part of TV network boss Castor Sotto, Mr. Chris in the TV adaptation of About a Boy, and billionaire investor Russ Hanneman in Silicon Valley.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
