Jeff Garlin - biography, date of birth, place of birth, filmography, clips.
Born June 5, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Actor, writer, director and Emmy nominee Jeff Garlin is poorly known to the general public - such is the feature of his fame. He did not work in the mainstream before starring in Curb Your Enthusiasm, and then in another famous comedy - Arrested Development (Fox, 2003-06) .
Meanwhile, in narrower circles, Garlin's fame dates back to the times of the Second City theater of the 1980s. In Hollywood, he was considered one of the best improvisers, a 'comedian of comedians' for his natural, seemingly passive game, for his ability to laugh at himself, for example, at his own excess weight, for surprisingly 'personal' jokes that reveal his inner world.
In addition, Garlin is developing his own sitcom The Jeff Garlin Program and writing the script for the romantic (which was unexpected) comedy Who Can I Eat Cheese With (2007), the core of which is the comedian's 'unusual' attitude towards women and food, and the plot was based on the comedian's appearances in 'Second City'.
In addition to writing the script for the film, Jeff starred in it and also directed it. At the film festivals, 'Who to Eat Cheese With' (by the way, the film brought together a rather strong cast) was highly praised, but never became widely known.
As for the chronologically recent projects of the comedian - he directed the film version of the show by J. Weiter 'This Filthy World' (2007), played a supporting role in the comedy 'The Naked Drummer' (2008), voiced the captain in 'WALL-E' (2008) and has starred in 'Wizards of Waverly Place' (Disney, from 2008) and 'Life & Times of Tim' (from 2008) .
Jeff Garlin is married; his chosen one is called Marla.
