Career

Pearlman's acting career began after he submitted an entry for a contest with the website Funny or Die and was given the opportunity to audition for a role in the film The Virginity Hit. Pearlman landed a lead role in the film, which was released in September 2010.[1][4] To increase the realism of the film, the directors gave Pearlman and his castmates cameras to film many of the scenes themselves.[5] Pearlman began his television career as Leslie Kaczander in the season 1 finale of Breaking In. Pearlman played Jay in the American remake of the British series The Inbetweeners on MTV,[6] but the series was cancelled after one season due to low viewership.[7]

He was part of an ensemble cast in a Key and Peele skit that became very popular called the Substitute Teacher. Pearlman played Aaron/A-aron. By 2019, the video had over 175 million views.[8]
