Yarritu's only credited role in the production of How to Be a ... Zillionaire! was providing spoken passages on some tracks. He and Eden (Fiona Russell Powell) were hired for ABC's Zillionaire! era mainly for their unconventional look onstage and in music videos. In Yarritu's case, it was his short stature, shaven head, oversized eyeglasses, and diminutive build. He was the lone American in the band.

Today Yarritu is based in New York City and works as a freelance photographer. Among his works is a retrospective of Wigstock through the years in a series of Polaroid photographs.[1]
