Middleditch is the lead actor in the hit comedy Silicon Valley and also will be starring in 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters' this May. He is also touring with fellow comedian Ben Schwartz in their completely improvised show.










Outside of his on-screen history, Middleditch used to run a small NHL video game league called League Of Champs.
