The Improv Genius

Jagodowski won the Chicago Improv Festival's highest award, "best improviser" right after the Sonic commercials blew up. He's also gotten roles in Get Hard, The Ice Harvest, Stranger than Fiction, and several more. He even had a role in Prison Break, which aired in the same timeslot that his commercial came on. Jagodowski has been creating Sonic's ads since 2004, which has earned the actor a net worth of $300,000.
