Justin Kuritzkes, born May 5, 1990, in good ol’ Los Angeles, California. Yeah, another LA kid, but this one’s actually got some serious creative chops—both a writer and actor, not just another guy hoping to “make it” in Hollywood. You might’ve heard his name buzzing around lately, especially with Challengers (2024) making waves, and Queer (2024) stirring up its fair share of conversations. The guy’s got range, not gonna lie. Plus, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll see his name pop up in connection with Sgt. Rock, too. Not exactly a lightweight resume, huh? Kuritzkes doesn’t just stick to one lane, either. His writing? Sharp, witty, sometimes almost uncomfortably honest. Acting? He brings this sort of low-key intensity that sneaks up on you—suddenly you’re hooked on whatever he’s doing. It’s not all glitz, though. Behind the scenes, he’s been locked in with playwright and director Celine Song since they tied the knot on June 11, 2016. Now that’s a creative power couple if there ever was one. Can you imagine the dinner conversations at their place? Probably a wild mix of scripts, stories, and the occasional existential crisis. Honestly, Kuritzkes seems like one of those rising voices who’s not afraid to mess with the rules, shake things up, and make you actually think (or at least laugh, sometimes both). Hot take: keep your eye on him. Hollywood’s got plenty of faces, but not all of them stick around. This guy just might.
referencennThe dude behind the whole “Potion Seller” madness? Yeah, that’s Justin Kuritzkes. This guy basically blew up the internet with a single, ridiculously quotable video where he plays both the desperate knight and the deadpan potion merchant. The knight’s just begging for something—anything—to help him survive his next battle, but the potion seller? He’s not having it. His potions are “too strong,” and he won’t budge, which just pushes the whole absurdity up a notch. It’s got this weird, almost Shakespearean vibe but smashed together with internet absurdism. People have memed the heck out of it ever since, using quotes like “You can’t handle my potions” for just about every situation you can imagine. Honestly, it’s one of those videos that sticks in your head and randomly pops up years later—total cult classic status. All that from a simple sketch with zero budget. Wild.
