I thought he was a mail room clerk.
There is another for Dennis from last year too.

Yeah. Someone else uncovered that fact a while back too.

Knowing that he was an actor restored my faith in humanity. It was hard to believe that anyone could really be that geeky.

If you find out that anyone else is an actor, I'd sure like to know.

I thought I saw him in "Win a date..."
I am disappointed! I thought (naively) that this was for real. I thought they were giving chances to regular guys. (Or geeky ones!) Actually they have someone playing a role. Boo.

An actor!?!?! Boo hiss boo hiss. Here, I was feeling sorry for the guy (and also tempted to send him to the Queer Eye... people for a half-decent look). Does whats-her-name know this is a hoax too? I don't think I'll watch this anymore.

Well as far as we know, he is the only actor. Most of the guys on the show are real.

This was discussed before. On the first Average joe's: Dennis and Tariq were actors also.

Makes me skeptical. Just because Average Joe is hiding the fact that these guys are acting. If NBC said that David was a Mailroom Clerk/Actor I might think that he wasn't acting on the show but they said mailroom clerk.

I knew this all I still watch.

It's very easy to notice the similarities between Dennis and David. Both were the most will liked guys and offered positive perceptives on everything. I don't think this is a coincidence. And both were too good to be true.

I seem to remember that at the end of the Average Joe, the announcer mentioned that some of the people may have consulted with the producers on what to say and do. Might be a good indication that some of them are 'actors' in the show.

"Aspiring actor" or "wanna-be actor" would be more accurate. Looking over his "credits," just about every character role that he's had haven't even have proper names (they're all "Sandwich Geek," "High School Geek," "Prom Student," etc.)

"TV/movie extra" would be a more accurate description -- very few 20-something mailroom clerks, copy clerks, Starbucks employees, etc. in Los Angeles aren't wanna-be actors of some type.

The "mailroom clerk" job isn't a cover story -- it's what he does (similar to Dennis the accountant from the first season) to pay the bills while waiting the months between landing such unimpressive small roles (these types of "roles" are all pretty much one-two scene things that require a day or two of work and pay minimum scale.)

All very true.
