10 Great Movies Starring The Brooklyn Nine-Nine Cast

One of the most influential comedies of recent times, Wet Hot American Summer’s amazing cast provided the bedrock of most of the genre’s movies and shows for years to come (also Bradley Cooper is there). The simple premise focuses on the final day of a summer camp circa 1981, but this is merely a jumping off point for 90 minutes of madcap comedy.

Among other Nine-Nine bit part players are Ken Marino (who recurs as C.J Stentley) and Joe Lo Truglio, in his first movie role. They play, respectively, the camp stud Victor Pulak and lovelorn virgin Neil (though the Netflix-produced prequel series reveals that all is not as it seems as far as the boys’ sexual experience goes).

The two actors have a long history together as part of sketch group The State, and play off each other wonderfully under the the loose, improvisation-heavy direction of David Wain (who would go on to direct Lo Truglio, albeit in a much smaller role, in the criminally underrated Role Models).

They’re a mere piece of the puzzle in Wet Hot, but if you’re a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan and you’re not up on this film and the two wild Netflix seasons produced in 2015 and 2017, that’s something you need to change.
