[edit] Life and career

Stashwick was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in the suburbs right outside of the city.

Soon after graduating from Illinois State University, he began performing at several local improvisational theaters and was quickly hired to tour with "The Second City" all over the country. Following productions at The Second City Detroit and The Second City Northwest, he moved to New York. Todd was up for Saturday Night Live the same year as fellow Second City Alumni David Koechner joined the cast. While in New York he formed a company of improvisers and began staging the underground critically acclaimed Burn Manhattan all over the city under the direction of Shira Piven.
