Hey man,
Up until tonight, I was completely positive that Kip was a character than Aaron Ruell developed first on Reno911 then perfected in Napoleon Dynamite.
My friend told me I was wrong
Here's Kip's IMDB entry:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1088052/
Here's the credit for the dude they say is Weigel's boyfriend/Truckee River Killer in Reno but he doesn't look anything like the character. His name is supposedly Kyle Dunnigan:

I'm still convinced Kip is the same guy as the guy on Reno, but alas, proof indicates otherwise.
I'm with you, bro.
And Reno was one of the funniest shows I've seen in years, btw.
cheers,
