Kevin Nealon

Born: 18th November 1953
Where: Connecticut, USA

Kevin is best known for his comedy genius, very definitely not a straight Shakespearean style actor, he made his name in the US hit TV show, Saturday Night Live, breaking a record as the longest running cast member in the history of the series with 9 seasons.

But he's equally as well known for his roles on the big screen, starting off with a small role as drunk #2 in Steve Martin's 1987 film Roxanne.

Other notable roles followed, such as the part of Gary Potter in Happy Gilmore, also starring Adam Sandler in 1996.

Then two years later he acted alongside Adam Sandler again, this time in The Wedding Singer, also starring Drew Barrymore in this romantic comedy.

It plainly takes Kevin and Adam a very measured two years before they can work together again, because in 2000 they re-joined their forces in Little Nicky, alongside Harvey Keitel and Patricia Arquette.

Another notable comedy in which he acted, is Heartbreakers (2001), as an unnamed 'man at the bar' in this film which sees Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt as a mother and daughter scam team who extricate money out of wealthy men by seducing them.

So, two years had passed and it was time to do some more work with Mr Sandler, this time it came in the guise of an animated musical comedy Eight Crazy Nights (2002).

One year later another comedy - again with Sandler - Anger Management (2003), then Kevin joined up with another comic icon, in 2003 in Daddy Day Care with Eddie Murphy.

Then came his role as the butter-wouldn't-melt-in-his-mouth dad in Good Boy! - a competent enough role but he was generally overshadowed by the four-legged cast members.

Throughout all his film work, Kevin has also found time to continue working in TV, notching up appearances in Dharma And Greg, Third Rock From The Sun and The Outer Limits.
