In 1992, he played the role of Harold Wormser in the TV movie Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation, replacing Andrew Cassese who played Wormser in the original film.
Whalen has appeared in several television shows, including My Wife and Kids as Larry, the nerdy employee, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody as a radio station host, Hannah Montana as a worker at a Make A Moose store in a Moose Costume, Scrubs as a Radiographer.
