Full Chris Elliott Biography
Elliott was born in New York City, the son of Lee and Bob Elliott, who was a known comedian and writer. Elliott has been married since 1986 and has two children.
In 1990, Elliott created and starred in his own sitcom, which was called Get A Life!, about a 30-year-old paperboy named Chris Peterson, who lived at home with his parents. Elliott's real-life father, Bob Elliott, appeared in the show as Peterson's father. The January 1999 issue of TV Guide called the "Zoo Animals On Wheels" episode the 19th funniest TV moment of all time.
In 1993, Elliott teamed up with producer Brad Hall and directed a series of critically acclaimed short films that Elliott showed when appearing on Late Show with David Letterman.
Elliott became a cast member of the popular Saturday Night Live show in 1994. Also that year, Elliott starred in his first movie—entitled Cabin Boy—which also featured a short appearance by Elliott's old boss, David Letterman, and was produced by Tim Burton.
His other television credits include:
- the voice of Dogbert on the short-run show Dilbert for UPN.
- the role of Peter in the last two seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond.
- a role in a semi-autobiographical sitcom pilot for CBS, entitled You've Reached the Elliotts, playing a man who tries to balance a modest show business career with his home life.
- multiple appearances on King of Queens.
- guest appearances on Late Show
Elliott has written three books. Daddy's Boy is a comedic fictionalized biography about growing up with his famous father. The Shroud of the Thwacker is an historical novel about Elliott's investigation of a serial killer in 1882 New York City, spoofing London's infamous Jack the Ripper case.
