Biff Wiff, ‘I Think You Should Leave’ Actor, Dies

 

He was not on the list.

Biff Wiff, a character actor best known for his multiple guest turns on the Netflix sketch comedy series “I Think You Should Leave,” has died following an extended battle with cancer, his management firm Entertainment Lab confirmed Friday on Instagram.

“It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of our beloved client and actor, Biff Wiff,” the post read. “Biff was an amazing person inside and out, and his loving energy could be felt by all. We are sending our heartfelt sympathies to his family & loved ones at this time.”

“I Think You Should Leave” creator and star Tim Robinson reshared the post to his Instagram Stories. He also shared a clip from a fan-favorite “ITYSL” sketch in which he starred with Wiff entitled “Shirt Brothers.”

Wiff’s decades-long career began with a guest turn on the “Gidget” sequel series “The New Gidget,” and included early roles in shows like the original “Night Court,” “Roseanne” and “Crossing Jordan.” From children’s programs like “True Jackson, VP,” and “iCarly,” to procedurals like “NCIS,” “Rizzoli & Isles,” and “The Mentalist,” Wiff’s roles spanned many genres, though he displayed a continued affinity for comedy.

He appeared in “Desperate Housewives,” “Silicon Valley,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Brooklyn 99,” “Fresh Off the Boat,” “Grace and Frankie,” “Pen15” and “Jury Duty,” before coming full circle with a four-episode stint on the “Night Court” reboot.

Wiff was best known to fans for playing multiple roles in Robinson’s “I Think You Should Leave.” In addition to his television work, Wiff had a supporting role in 2023 best picture winner “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
