Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt was born on January 27th, 1969 in Portland, Oregon - a man who would go on to carve his own unique path through the world of comedy and acting. He first entered the world of stand-up comedy in the late '80s, where he honed his skills and built a name for himself with razor-sharp wit and engaging stage presence.

In the early stages of his career, Oswalt took on the role of writer for the popular sketch comedy show MADtv, where he spent two seasons crafting hilarious scenes and jokes. He then ventured into the world of television with a 1996 HBO special that allowed him to showcase his talents even further.

During this time, Oswalt made a successful transition from stand-up comedy and writing into acting. He landed roles in films such as "Down Periscope" (1996), where he made his big screen debut, and later became a series regular on the hit sitcom "The King of Queens" (1998 - 2007).

As Oswalt's career continued to flourish, he was offered the rare opportunity to voice a lead character in Pixar's critically acclaimed animated film "Ratatouille" (2007), which garnered him widespread recognition and critical acclaim. Since then, he has appeared in dozens of other films and television series, primarily comedies, including many voice roles.

Away from the spotlight, Patton Oswalt was married to writer Michelle Eileen McNamara on September 24th, 2005 until her untimely passing in 2016. The couple was blessed with a daughter, Alice Rigney Oswalt, born on April 15th, 2009. In the wake of his loss, Oswalt found love again with actress Meredith Salenger, and they tied the knot in 2017.

Throughout his impressive career, Patton Oswalt has proved himself as a multi-talented performer who continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of humor and charm.
