Comedian David Koechner Brings his Characters to Atlanta Improv

David Koechner may not be a household name, but his face – or better yet, his characters – certainly are. He’s the actor behind Champ Kind, the chauvinist sportscaster in the “Anchorman” movies, and Todd Packer, the boorish brute to Steve Carell’s bumbling nice guy Michael Scott from NBC’s “The Office.”

Our own Anchorlady, Lois Reitzes, spoke with Koechner about his craft, and his comedy.
