Dax Shepard

Hailing from a small town outside of Detroit, Mich., DAX SHEPARD honed his skills as an actor and comedian with the much-celebrated improv troupe The Groundlings while earning an anthropology degree from UCLA. Shortly thereafter, he found himself in the spotlight when he landed a role as himself in the inaugural season of MTV‘s wildly popular celebrity-prank series Punk‘d. As the show‘s original master of disguise, he created a barrage of characters in an effort to disguise himself to the audience and the show‘s increasingly savvy celebrity targets.

In 2006, Shepard was seen in Mike Judge‘s Idiocracy, opposite Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph, as well as starring alongside Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson in the Lionsgate comedy Employee of the Month.

Shepard appeared in the Universal Pictures comedy Baby Mama as Amy Poehler‘s loser boyfriend, Carl. Previous films for Shepard include director Bob Odenkirk‘s comedy Let‘s Go to Prison, Jon Favreau‘s fantasy family feature―Zathura: A Space Adventure, and Paramount Pictures‘ Without a Paddle, opposite Seth Green and Matthew Lillard.

Shepard was seen in the dark comedy Smother, opposite Liv Tyler and Diane Keaton, and the comedy Old Dogs, with John Travolta and Robin Williams and NBC‘s Parenthood.

Shepard resides in Los Angeles.
