Andrew Michael "Andy" Milonakis (born January 30, 1976) is a Greek-American comedian and actor who played the role of a young boy on his television show, The Andy Milonakis Show, which was played on MTV and MTV2 channels. Milonakis has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of an adolescent boy, when he is in fact an adult. In his high school years Andy used comedy as a means to handle being made fun of. "Humor is a great defense mechanism," Andy Milonakis says. "If you're a serious, fat, young-looking kid, you're not going to be the most popular guy in high school."12
Milonakis' fame began as an Internet phenomenon after he released home webcam recordings of freestyle rhyming, humor videos, and short films. Some of these include "Crispy New Freestyle" and "The Super Bowl Is Gay." Comedian Jimmy Kimmel later recruited him for regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live on television 2003–2004.
