Jim Piddock

In the film world, Jim is probably best known for his diverse roles in the Christopher Guest movies “Best In Show”, “A Mighty Wind”, “For Your Consideration”, and “Mascots”.  Other notable film appearances include “The Five Year Engagement“, “Get Him To The Greek“, Woody Allen’s “You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger“, “The Prestige”, “Austin Powers”, “Independence Day”, “Kill Your Friends”, “Multiplicity”, and “Lethal Weapon 2”.

On television, he has been seen in countless long-running or successful shows such as “The Blacklist”, “The Haunting of Bly Manor”, “Modern Family”, “Get Shorty”, “Training Day”, “Mom”, “Two and a Half Men”, “Lost”, “Monk”, “Friends”, “ER”, “Mad About You”, “Without A Trace”, “Law And Order: LA”, “Castle” and the award-winning HBO mini-series “From The Earth To The Moon”.

Jim has also starred in several Broadway plays (the first American production of “Noises Off”, and revivals of “Present Laughter” and “Design For Living”), but his reputation as one of the UK’s most notable exports was sealed when he co-starred with Billy Connolly, Tim Curry, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard, Jane Leeves, Emily Mortimer, and Tracey Ullman in Eric Idle’s comedy “What About Dick?” at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles for a sold-out run, which was also filmed for Netflix.

In 2022, his memoir “CAUGHT WITH MY PANTS DOWN and Other Tales from a Life in Hollywood” was published to great critical acclaim.
