[edit] Career

Bullock became a notable entertainment figure in the 1980s when he co-starred on Too Close for Comfort, and was a regular "square" on John Davidson's updated version of Hollywood Squares (1986-89). He later became a regular on ALF (from 1989-1990 as Neal Tanner).

After the sitcom went off the air, Bullock remained active with theatre, TV, and film work. He briefly hosted a syndicated talk show with ex-televangelist, Tammy Faye Messner. The Jim J. and Tammy Faye Show debuted in 1996, but Messner exited the program a few months later following a cancer diagnosis. Bullock continued with new co-host Ann Abernathy, and the show became The Jim J. and Ann Show until it was cancelled soon after.

Bullock was the voice of Queer Duck in the animated series of cartoons of the same name which have appeared on both the Internet and the TV channel Showtime. In 2000, Bullock was a regular panelist on the revival of I've Got a Secret. Bullock played on the national tour of the Broadway production Hairspray playing Wilbur Turnblad, a role he took to the Broadway stage starting in September 18, 2007. In addition, Bullock played the always tired "Prince Valium" in the 1987 Mel Brooks movie, Spaceballs and as the Not-Quite-Out-of-the-Closet in the date montage in the beginning of Kissing Jessica Stein (2001).

Bullock has a recurring role as Mr. Monroe, a teacher at the fictional James K. Polk Middle School on the Nickelodeon live action sitcom Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

Bullock is gay and was diagnosed HIV positive [2] in 1985 and is known as a longtime survivor of the virus.
