In 1996, he formed the comedy duo "Rhysently Granted" with Grant Lobban, quickly carving a niche for their unique brand of humor. Darby's solo stand-up routines, characterized by vibrant storytelling, mime, and sound effects, garnered him recognition and two Billy T Award nominations. Darby's international breakthrough came in 2007 with his role as Murray Hewitt in the HBO comedy series "Flight of the Conchords." Since then, he's appeared in films like "Yes Man," "What We Do in the Shadows," and "Jumanji," often injecting his signature comedic flair into supporting roles. On television, he's had recurring roles in shows like "Short Poppies," "Wrecked," and animated shows such as "Voltron: Legendary Defender." From 2022 to 2023, he starred in period romantic comedy series "Our Flag Means Death" as a fictionalized version of pirate Stede Bonnet. The show was praised for its LGBTQ+ representation, including the romantic relationship between Darby's Bonnet and fellow Kiwi Taika Waititi's Blackbeard. This was not only Darby's first role as a main protagonist, but also his first foray into dramatic acting. Beyond acting, Darby is also an author. He has written three children's books for his "Buttons McGinty" series as well as an autobiography titled "This Way to Spaceship." Additionally, he's been the host of the cryptozoology podcast "The Cryptid Factor" since 2008, alongside Dan Schreiber, Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck, and previously, David Farrier.

The Smurfs are tiny, blue, humanoid creatures who live in mushroom houses in a hidden village. Each Smurf is named for their dominant personality trait, like Brainy Smurf, Clumsy Smurf, or Vanity Smurf. Their leader is Papa Smurf, easily recognizable by his red hat and beard. The Smurfs' main antagonist is the evil wizard Gargamel, who constantly tries to capture them, often with the help of his cat, Azrael. Smurfette, originally created by Gargamel, was transformed into a true Smurf by Papa Smurf's magic. They communicate using the unique "Smurf language," where the word "smurf" is substituted for many verbs and nouns. The Smurfs often embark on adventures, facing challenges and learning valuable lessons about friendship and community. Their favorite food is sarsaparilla, a plant that grows abundantly in their forest. The Smurfs were created by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (Pierre Culliford) in 1958. Their stories often revolve around magical mishaps, humorous situations, and the ongoing struggle against Gargamel.
