That same year, he played the lead role in the comedy-mystery film The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. Clay has appeared in several films and television shows, including critically acclaimed supporting roles in Blue Jasmine and A Star Is Born, the latter of which earned him a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. He continues his acting career while also touring and performing stand-up. The television show Dice aired on Showtime for two seasons. He also launched a podcast, I'm Ova Hea' Now, in September 2018.
