Paul Sheer as Andre | The League on FX
Paul Scheer
Andre
Paul Scheer plays "Andre," who was the punching bag of the group in high school. Now that he’s a well-established plastic surgeon and is by far the most successful...absolutely nothing has changed. His friends still pick on him, get into his head, and rattle him into bad trades and stupid mistakes. At the end of last season, Andre lost his restaurant, but won the Shiva, and the Laguna Beach house that came with it. The fact that it burned down seconds after he won it has not deterred Andre from celebrating “The Year of the Dre.”
