The Sonic Guy (Left)
T.J. Jagodowski graduated from the prestigious Syracuse University and went on to become an accomplished Chicago actor. He is first and foremost an improv comedian, but he wanted a paid gig. The fast-food company Sonic picked up on his comedy skills when they saw his entry tape and his application. T.J. got to bring his improv buddy along (Pete Grosz) and thus, the legendary Sonic duo was born.
The Improv Guys
Jagodowski won the "Best Improviser" award from Chicago Improv Festival right after the Sonic commercials went viral. He's also gotten roles in flicks like Get Hard, The Ice Harvest, Stranger than Fiction, and more. He even had a small role in the TV drama Prison Break, which aired in the same timeslot that his commercial came on. Since 2004, he has earned a net worth of $300,000 for his advertisements.
