Full Patton Oswalt Biography
Patton Oswalt (born January 27, 1969) is an American actor, writer, voiceover artist, and professional comedian.
On June 27, 2007, Oswalt was a special guest on the Emeril Live program on the Food Network, where he plugged his new movie, Ratatouille.
In 2004, Oswalt released a comedy album entitled Feelin' Kinda Patton and later that year a longer, unedited version of the same recording called 222, both through the United Musicians collective, and a stand-up special "No Reason to Complain". He is also on a split EP called Patton vs. Alcohol vs. Zach vs. Patton with Zach Galifianakis. On July 10, 2007, Patton released his latest CD Werewolves and Lollipops on Sub Pop records.
Looking for a way to bring cutting-edge comedy to a different audience, Oswalt put together the Comedians of Comedy tour in 2004, using indie rock venues instead of traditional (and expensive) comedy clubs. The tour featured Oswalt, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, and Maria Bamford. The Fall 2004 tour was documented in a 2005 film of the same name; it was followed by a six-episode Comedy Central series based on the Summer 2005 tour. This tour featured special guest appearances from comedians such as Blaine Capatch, Bobby Tisdale and Todd Barry. Subsequent incarnations of the tour have included Eugene Mirman, and Morgan Murphy.
Oswalt was born in Portsmouth, Virginia to a Marine colonel father. He is a 1987 graduate of Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Virginia, and attended the College of William and Mary, where he majored in English and was initiated into the Alpha Theta Chapter of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.
Oswalt has described himself as a "man without a country" in that he hates both George W. Bush and hippies. In February 2004, some jokes critical of hippies got him booed off the stage in San Francisco, while a diatribe against Bush got him booed off in Pittsburgh.
Actor Tony Danza has said of Oswalt "I saw the guy just once but ... he is, in my eyes, the best candidate for my replacement in the next Taxi series." No such series has yet been announced, but Oswalt has already enthusiastically stated his willingness to take up the role. |
