Early life


Morin was born in South Windsor, Connecticut, to two inner city high school English teacher parents.[6] Morin has an older brother, who was a concert pianist, and a younger brother, who became a professional figure skater. He graduated from South Windsor High School.[6] He is of Irish and Italian background.[7]



Career

Morin moved to Los Angeles at 18 to study at a film school at Columbia College Hollywood.[8] Although he graduated with a film degree, Morin started doing stand-up and eventually decided that was what he wanted to do.[6] Morin has said that he was inspired by his idols, Albert Brooks and Woody Allen.[8] After graduation, he worked as a production assistant with Conan O'Brien on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on NBC and continued with Conan on TBS.[6][9] He went from being a general office production assistant to becoming the set production assistant/Andy Richter's stand-in.[10] Morin has appeared regularly as a stand-up comic on shows with The Comedy Store, The Improv and Laugh Factory,[11] as well as on tours throughout the United States.[12] In his network TV debut, Morin co-starred in the Bill Lawrence NBC series Undateable,[13] a multi-camera sitcom with a live audience, which was based on the book Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating or Having Sex by Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle.[14]


Morin portrayed Justin Kearney, the owner of Black Eyes Bar and hopeless romantic roommate of Danny (played by Chris D'Elia). Undateable was unique in that it was a cast full of stand-up comedians who were good friends before the show aired. The show often incorporates improv, with Morin playing Felix to D'Elia's grouch Oscar à la The Odd Couple.[15][16][17] Lawrence and the cast (Chris D'Elia, Morin, Ron Funches, and Rick Glassman) went on a series of stand-up tour dates, with an appearance on @midnight to promote the show.[18][19] In 2016, Morin was cast for the Rooster Teeth web series, Crunch Time. In 2018, he appeared on the second season of Netflix's The Standups, performing a half-hour special.[20]



Personal life


Morin dated actress Angie Simms for two years, confirming their relationship in 2016,[21][22] and breakup in 2017.[23]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
