'''Simon Pegg''' is a British actor and comedian who has had recent breakout success in a wide range of movies. He began as a TV actor and gained success for ''[[Spaced]]'', which he co-wrote with [[Jessica Hynes]]. He later collaborated with ''Spaced'' helmer [[Edgar Wright]] and actor Nick Frost on both ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' and ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''. Since then, Pegg has starred in a few films and was cast as Scotty in [[J.J. Abrams]]' [[Star Trek (film)|reboot]] of ''[[Star Trek]]''.
Pegg is known for his quick-witted and sarcastic characters, and for often playing a slacker. He's quickly become a poster boy for nerd culture for many minor projects like a one-episode role in ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and his two-man re-enactment of ''[[Star Wars]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|episode]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5W8EBHNsLc IV]''.

** On his sudden fame after ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'': "[[Hilarious in Hindsight|Well, it's not like I'm going to go do ''Mission: Impossible III'']]!"
*** He's apparently putting aside his vitriol for the [[Star Wars|Prequels]] in order to play an Original Trilogy character, Dengar on ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]''.
** Voicing [[Strontium Dog|Johnny Alpha]] on the Big Finish audio adaptations.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Nick Frost. They have become such a great comedy duo that they are now working on non-[[Edgar Wright|Wright]] projects like ''[[Paul]]''.
* [[One of Us]]: Goes without saying; look at his list of credits, side projects and header image.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Played with in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'', where Pegg is much more of a straight man than his normal persona.
** In ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Went from playing a Comic book artist to an action hero and is awesome at both.
