He directs and provides voices for the new series Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network, which he describes as "SNL meets The Nightmare Before Christmas." It's a fast-paced, irreverent stop-action animated variety show.

Green got his acting start at 8, in the film Hotel New Hampshire. He went on to Woody Allen's Radio Days and later played the son of Doctor Evil in the Austin Powers movies. He was recently in the art-house film Party Monster.
