Toby Huss (born December 9, 1966) is an American actor. He was born in Marshalltown, Iowa.

Huss briefly attended the University of Iowa where he participated in No Shame Theatre before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

He has appeared in over 35 movies and television series. Notable roles include Artie, the Strongest Man in the World on The Adventures of Pete & Pete; the voices of Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone on King of the Hill; and The Wiz, a boyfriend of Elaine Benes in "The Junk Mail" episode of Seinfeld.

Known for his parodies of Frank Sinatra, which were featured in Vegas Vacation and Down Periscope, Huss has created a Sinatra-inspired character named Rudy Casoni. In the early nineties, he appeared in network promos for MTV, playing odd characters, including a crooner known at the time as Ol' Two Eyes (the predecessor to Rudy Casoni) who sang lounge-singer versions of Dr. Dre's Dre Day, Cypress Hill's Insane in the Brain, and rap group Onyx's hit "Slam"; a James Bond-like spy named Cobalt; a kinky, black leather-clad man with an abnormal affection for goats; a flannel-wearing doofus, and an angry redneck who went on fast-talking, nonsensical tirades that usually ended with, "Go to Hell!"
