Sean Gunn is an American actor, best known for his roles as Kirk Gleason on the television show Gilmore Girls (2000–2007) and Kraglin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). He is the younger brother of filmmaker James Gunn, and often appears in his sibling’s films.

Early life

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Gunn is the youngest sibling of four brothers, filmmaker James, actor and political writer Matt, screenwriter Brian, and former senior vice president of Artisan Entertainment Patrick, and a sister, Beth. Their parents are Leota and James F. Gunn, who is a partner and corporate attorney with the law firm Thompson Coburn in St. Louis. Gunn’s surname is derived from the Irish name MacGilGunn, meaning “sons to the servants of the god of the dead”. Therefore, Gunn means “God of the Dead”.

Gunn and his brothers all attended the Jesuit St. Louis University High School, where he graduated in 1992. He then graduated from DePaul University’s theatre program, the Goodman School, in 1996. After graduation, he started a theater company with friends.

Career

In 1995 Gunn played Sammy Capulet in the B movie Tromeo and Juliet. In 2000, he “allegedly” guest starred in the second episode of Gilmore Girls as Mick, a DSL cable installer. As the first season continued, Gunn was brought back to play the recurring role of Kirk Gleason, one of Stars Hollow’s most eccentric citizens. Since 2002, until the end of the series in 2007, Gunn was a regular cast member of the show. He also had a recurring role on October Road as Rooster.

Although he is best known for his regular Gilmore Girls role, he also has several television show guest appearance credits, including Angel; 3rd Rock from the Sun; Yes, Dear; True Jackson, VP; Andy Richter Controls the Universe; and Bunheads. Gunn can also be seen in commercials as an “agent” for the text message information service KGB.com. In films, Gunn has also had several roles, the most substantial being “Alien Orphan/Doug” in The Specials, for which he also received a co-producer credit.

In 2003, Gunn starred in the featurette The Man Who Invented the Moon, directed by fellow Goodman School of Drama alum and Gilmore Girls cast member John Cabrera. Gunn and Cabrera have been close artistic colleagues since their school days in Chicago back in the mid-nineties.

Along with his brothers James and Brian, he is a creator and actor in the spoof porn series, PG Porn. He also had a brief role as a computer maintenance man on the Nickelodeon show True Jackson VP. Gunn starred in a series of television commercials for Knowledge Generation Bureau. He appeared in the 2010 film Super, written and directed by his brother James.

Sean is also the voice actor behind the character of Swan in the Warner Brothers video game Lollipop Chainsaw, also written by his brother James.

Gunn guest-starred in the season 4 episode “Makeover” of Glee as committee member Phineas Hayes.

In 2014, he provided stand-in work for the character of Rocket and played the role of Kraglin, Yondu Udonta’s second-in-command, in Guardians of the Galaxy.

In 2014, he held a supporting role in Bones on Fox in the episode “The Corpse at the Convention”. In 2017, he reprised his role as Kraglin in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, playing a larger role, and again provided stand-in work for the character of Rocket.

With Nick Holmes, he has starred in Gilmore Girls, Super, PG Porn, and Guardians of the Galaxy. He has also posed for Holmes’s photography portraits.

Nicola Bulgari’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Nicola Bulgari Net Worth: Nicola Bulgari is an Italian businessman who has a net worth of $1.3 billion. Nicola Bulgari has entered the billionaire rankings along with his brother Paolo, with whom he owns about 2.4 percent of LVMH. They are probably best known as the great-great-grandsons of Greek silversmith Konstantinos Voulgaris, the founder of the high-end Italian jewelry and luxury goods company, Bvulgaru. What was started as a small family business more than 150 years ago has turned into a deluxe brand of bold, hand-crafted gems that are worn by Hollywood beauties on the red carpets. It was in 2011 that the duo sold the company to the French luxury conglomerate LVMH in an all-share deal. One year later, as LVMH’s stock rose, the Bulgaris sold a tiny portion of their stake to take care of taxes and other expenses. But, their mutual 2.4% stake of LVMH seemed just enough to land them both on the billionaires list for the first time in March 2013.
