Rob Corddry Biography

ROB CORDDRY

Date of Birth: February 4, 1971

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Rob Corddry moved to New York City in 1994 to begin his career in theater after studying at the University of Massachusetts. He toured with the National Shakespeare Company for one year, but finding that theater doesn't pay very well, he began accepting screen roles, starting out with commercials, short films, and several appearances in the sketch comedy series Upright Citizen Brigade.

He then began a four-year stint on The Daily Show in 2001, and made his big screen debut with a role in Old School (2003), starring Will Ferrell. Guest appearances on Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Mad TV led to being cast as the title character in Fox TV's 2007 sitcom The Winner, about a 32-year-old loser still living at home with his parents.

Onscreen, he's appeared in a number of big budget films, including Failure to Launch (2006), Unaccompanied Minors (2006), Blades of Glory (2007), The Heartbreak Kid (2007), I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007), Harold & Kumar 2 (2008) and What Happens in Vegas (2008). In 2011, Corddry wrapped up his three-year run as Blake on the comedy television series Children's Hospital and was seen on the big screen starring alongside Steve Carell, Keira Knightley and Adam Brody in the comedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012). More recently, he appeared in Pain & Gain (2013) alongside Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson.

Corddry and his wife, Sandra, have a daughter named Sloane (b. 2006). They divide their time between New York City and Los Angeles.
