Dana Carvey Actor and Comedian

Emmy-award winning actor and comedian Dana Carvey is best known for his iconic and indelible Saturday Night Live characters – most memorably Church Lady, Grumpy Old Man, Hans, of the Hans and Franz body building duo, and of course Garth – Mike Myers’ “excellent Co-Host” on the classis sketch turned feature film, WAYNE’S WORLD. He was most recently seen starring as Garth once again alongside Mike Myers in a massive Super Bowl commercial and campaign for Uber Eats. Carvey has received much praise for his uncanny comedic impersonations of American political figures (popular with both audiences and the subjects of his impersonation), including George HW Bush, Ross Perot, Jerry Brown, and Bob Dole.

Carvey made his feature film debut in This is Spinal Tap, and other earlier works include Racing With The Moon, One Of The Group, Tough Guys, and the comedy Opportunity Knocks. Other notable films for Carvey include Alan Parker’s The Road To for Columbia Pictures, Zanuck’s Clean Slate for MGM, and Twentieth Century Fox’s Trapped in Paradise. In 2004, Dana starred in The Master of Disguise, a family comedy where Carvey took on 36 different identities and spoke in 14 different languages as the hapless titular character. Dana has also lent his voice to bring ‘Pops’ the dog to life in the 3D animated mega-hit, Secret Life of Pets and its sequel.

In 2016, Dana released a Netflix Special “Straight White Male, 60” to much acclaim.

You can now hear Dana on his chart-topping hit podcast Fly on the Wall which he co-hosts with friend and comic David Spade, and soon you will hear him voicing several characters on the animated show Mulligan, produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.
