Grabstein’s career has included work in films, television series, live sketch comedy, theater and commercials. Grabstein’s film credits include Bury The Evidence and Apartment #5C. His television credits include parts on three Law & Order series, Third Watch, and Conviction.

In addition to roles in several theater productions, Grabstein co-wrote and co-starred with Rick Mowat for their sketch comedy act Lab Rats, which performed to rave reviews in comedy clubs throughout New York City.During the years they performed in that show they regularly arrived with new material.

Grabstein is well-known for doing the voice of the titular character in the Cartoon Network animated series Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Grabstein used a combination of paranoia and panic to make the voice of Courage authentic. In the first season of the cartoon, he actually said many spoken words as Courage. However, for the rest of the series, Grabstein did almost all of the character’s dialogue by gibberish and mumbling because the show’s producers felt that Courage “talked too much” and wanted the dog to be more laconic.

Grabstein reprised his role as Courage for the TV special, The Fog of Courage, and the crossover movie, Straight Outta Nowhere: Scooby-Doo! Meets Courage the Cowardly Dog.
