Everyone was surprised when Padraic walked into the greenroom before the Whirled News show without his beard.

Me: Well hello there face.
Padraic: This is the first time I shaved the beard since... 2005, I think.

He shaved it for a commercial audition. Padraic was auditioning to be a John Hodgman look-alike. I never noticed before, but Padraic does look quite a bit like Hodgman.

Padraic: It was weird sitting in the audition waiting room, watching six versions of myself walk in.
