In the early 1990s, Huss appeared in network promos for MTV, playing characters such as Ol' Two Eyes, who sang lounge-singer versions of Dr. Dre's "Dre Day", Cypress Hill's "Insane in the Brain", Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", and Onyx's "Slam"; a James Bond-like spy named Cobalt; a leather fetishist with an abnormal affection for goats; a "flannel-wearing doofus"; and an angry redneck named Reverend Tex Stoveheadbottom, who delivered fast-talking and descriptively detailed non sequitur tirades that usually included the phrase, "Go to Hell!". From 1993-1996, he played Artie, the Strongest Man in the World on Nickelodeon's The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Other roles include the voices of Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone on King of the Hill and "the Wiz", a boyfriend of Elaine Benes, in the Seinfeld episode "The Junk Mail".
From his parodies of Frank Sinatra, which were featured in the films Vegas Vacation and Down Periscope, and the show Halt and Catch Fire, Huss has created a Sinatra-inspired character named Rudy Casoni.[4] Huss released a 2003 album under Casoni's name called S'no Balls.[6] As Huss put it in an interview with Paper, "You’d think he was a normal crooner, then he kind of gets dark."[7]
In the 2025 revival of King of the Hill, Huss now also voices Dale Gribble, whose original voice actor Johnny Hardwick died in 2023.[8]
In 2025, Huss would have a more notable motion picture role when he played Captain Ed Locke in Weapons.[9]
