Career
Dell commercials
As part of a commercial advertising campaign, Curtis portrayed the character Steven.[1] The commercials would usually feature Steven informing someone of all the perks of owning a Dell. When the person was sold on the idea, Steven would close with the catchphrase "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" The campaign was a success and brought prominence to Dell and to Curtis.[2]
Curtis's tenure with Dell ended shortly after he was arrested and accused of buying a bag of marijuana in 2003. According to Curtis, he was blacklisted from the entertainment community, and it was difficult for him to find work.[1]
Later career
In 2005, Curtis played the role of Christian in the Off-Broadway comedy Joy by John Fisher. The show ran at the Actors' Playhouse in Manhattan's West Village from August 14 to September 25.[3]
