Before he was Colin Robinson, Mark Proksch was pranking the news as a "yo-yo master"
Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser was on a mission to spread environmental awareness and play with yo-yos

Mark Proksch is best known now for playing Colin Robinson, a nefariously boring energy vampire from What We Do In The Shadows. But before he brought the character to “life”—and before his roles in The Office, Better Call Saul, or On Cinema—Proksch was pretending to be a dedicated yo-yo master/climate change activist called Kenny “K-Strass” Strasser on various morning shows across America.
Digg resurfaced a video of Proksch’s K-Strass years that gives a good indication of what the series of 2010 pranks are all about, but we highly recommend watching a full 20-minute compilation to get a full understanding of the beleagured Zim Zam Yo-Yo spokesman’s deal.
In the first segment, we learn about K-Strass’ mission: To teach kids at schools across the nation about environmental issues like “how recycling works” and “how to recycle batteries” using yo-yos. He also give yo-yos to the homeless to try to give them access to a better life on “the pro-circuit.”
