He voiced a lead character in the animated series Slammo & Sloshie. Since 2006, Lublin has been featured in a video series for Symantec as Hal, The IT Admin.
Lublin co-creates UN-imations with Len Peralta, which are improvised pieces of art in which Lublin provides a voice and Peralta must create a drawing from scratch based upon that voice. It was announced in September 2015 that Lublin would be appearing in season six of The Venture Bros. He voiced the characters Wide Wale and Manolo. He is a frequent guest on EW Radio's L.A. Daily on Sirius XM.
