Judge is a Texas and local favorite. He’s a Texas native, famously used area locations for Office Space, and, in one case at least, used local talent. Remember the big-haired assistant who scolds Milton to pass the birthday cake in one of Office Space’s more iconic scenes? That was Kinna McInroe, one of the funniest graduates of an improv comedy group that used to perform next to The Grape. And while it kills me to plug Internet Explorer, you can also spot McInroe in this hilarious commercial. She’s the redhead.
