Patton Peter Oswalt (born January 27, 1969) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actor and voice actor, known for roles such as Spencer Olchin in the sitcom The King of Queens, voicing Remy in the film Ratatouille and playing multiple identical brothers on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In 2016, Oswalt won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for his Netflix standup special Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping.

Early life

Oswalt was born January 27,[4][5] 1969,[6] in Portsmouth, Virginia, to Carla (née Runfola) and Larry J. Oswalt, a career United States Marine Corps officer.[7] He was named after General George S. Patton.[8] He has one younger brother, Matt Oswalt, a comedy writer best known for the YouTube web series Puddin'. While he was a military brat, his family later lived in Ohio and Tustin, California, before settling in Sterling, Virginia.[9] He is a 1987 graduate of Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Virginia and subsequently graduated from the College of William and Mary, where he majored in English[10] and was initiated into the Alpha Theta Chapter of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity.[11]

Career

Oswalt first began performing stand-up comedy in the late 1980s or early 1990s, by his own reckoning.[12] After writing for MADtv and starring in his own 1996 comedy special for HBO, he went on to garner notable roles in films and television shows.[13] His most prominent and long-running role was as Spence Olchin on The King of Queens.[14] His first starring film role was as the voice of Remy, the lead character in the 2007 Pixar film Ratatouille.[13] He has also appeared in smaller roles in such films as Magnolia[13] and 22 Jump Street.

Oswalt wrote the comic book story "JLA: Welcome to the Working Week", a backup story in Batman #600; a story for Dwight T. Albatross's The Goon Noir #01 and a story for Masks: Too Hot for TV.[15] Expanding his voice artist repertoire, he began voicing the villainous character "Tobey" on PBS Kids GO! series WordGirl in 2007.[16] He also appeared on the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner. In August 2007, he appeared on the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.[17] In 2007, he appeared on an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, "The Original Fry Cook", as Jim. In 2008 Oswalt moderated a reunion panel of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast at the San Diego Comic-Con International.[18]

In 2009, Oswalt played Paul Aufiero, the leading role in Robert D. Siegel's 2009 directorial debut, Big Fan. He was to star in a 2010 Broadway revival of Lips Together, Teeth Apart.[19] However, the show was postponed then eventually canceled due to Megan Mullally's departure from the production when the director denied her request to replace Oswalt due to his lack of stage experience.[20]

He starred in the Showtime drama The United States of Tara as Neil, an employee of Four Winds Landscaping.[21] He also provided the voice of Thrasher, a robot protagonist from the Cartoon Network show, Robotomy.[22]

In 2011, Oswalt released the book Zombie Spaceship Wasteland.[23]

In November 2011, Oswalt played the role of Hurlan Heartshe in the surrealist comedy miniseries The Heart, She Holler on Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim. Also in November 2011, Oswalt was depicted blowing the second-ever puff of 3D pot smoke in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas.[13] In December 2011, Oswalt played Matt Freehauf in Jason Reitman's black comedy Young Adult.[14] In 2012, he originated the role of Billy Stanhope on Two and a Half Men.[24]

As of September 2013, Oswalt narrates the TV series, The Goldbergs.[25] He also had a recurring role as Constable Bob Sweeney in the fourth season of the FX series Justified.

As of March 20, 2014, it was announced that Patton would be cast in the role of Agent Koenig on the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. He later appeared in separate episodes as brothers Eric and Billy Koenig. He continued to appear in the second season as Billy and a third brother Sam (as the original brother Eric is now deceased).

In January 2015, Oswalt's memoir Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film was published by Simon & Schuster. He also voiced the male version of Jesse in Minecraft: Story Mode, which was released in October 2015.

In November 2015, Oswalt was announced to be the second "Mad" to appear in the reboot of Mystery Science Theater 3000, as the son of Frank Conniff's character TV's Frank.[26][27]

Stand-up comedy

Oswalt's stand-up comedy covers topics ranging from pop culture frivolity, such as comic book supervillains and 1980s glam metal, to deeper social issues like American excess, materialism, foreign policy and religion. He also discusses his atheism in his stand-up. On February 28, 2009, Oswalt recorded his third comedy album at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University in Washington D.C. It premiered on Comedy Central as Patton Oswalt: My Weakness is Strong on August 23, 2009, and was released on DVD August 25, 2009.[28]

In November 2009, an animated video of Patton's take on New Song's Christmas Shoes was posted on YouTube.[29] The track isn't found on any albums. The audio is claimed to be recorded at Lisner Auditorium in Washington DC.[30]

Oswalt's album, Patton Oswalt: Finest Hour, was released on September 19, 2011. The extended and uncensored DVD of this special was released in April 2012, a few days after its television premiere on Comedy Central.[31][32]

Oswalt's comedy special Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time was to be released on January 16, 2014, via online movie streaming website Epix but was pushed back by the company for unknown reasons.[33] However, it did premiere on Comedy Central on April 6 and became available for purchase on April 8 in both DVD and CD format.[34]

Oswalt's comedy special Talking for Clapping was released on Netflix on April 22, 2016. [35]

Personal life

Oswalt married true crime writer[36] and journalist Michelle McNamara on September 24, 2005. They had one daughter together, Alice Rigney Oswalt, born on April 15, 2009.[37]

On April 21, 2016, McNamara died in her sleep in the family's Los Angeles, California home, one week after her 46th birthday.[38] The season 3 finale of The Goldbergs was dedicated to her memory. On August 1, Oswalt announced that he had been working to complete McNamara's non-fiction book on The Golden State Killer, which was left unfinished at the time of her death.[39]

In 2013, he teamed up with PETA and spoke out against chaining pet dogs, and sent a letter to the mayor and members of the city council of Newport News, Virginia, urging them to ban the practice.[40]

Oswalt is an atheist[41] and has referenced his atheism in his comedy specials, No Reason to Complain, Feelin' Kind of Patton, My Weakness Is Strong, and Finest Hour. It was also referenced by Katt Williams in the opening act of The Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.[42]
