Jamie Kennedy

Jamie Kennedy came to prominence in the late 1990s for playing Randy Meeks in "Scream" and is best known for playing various characters in "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment." Kennedy is a stand-up comedian, television producer, screenwriter, and actor, and currently hosts his own podcast "HATE TO BREAK IT TO YA." In 2019, Kennedy started hosting a dynamic stand-up comedy series "Coming to the Stage."

Kennedy formed a production company called Wannabe Producers, alongside Josh Etting, through which he has produced the shows "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment," "Blowin' Up," "The Starlet," and "Living with Fran." Following "Malibu's Most Wanted," which he both wrote and starred in, Kennedy co-wrote the MTV show "Blowin' Up" (2006) featuring Stu Stone. His film roles include appearances in Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet," alongside Steve Martin in "Bowfinger," and with George Clooney in "Three Kings."

While working on his film "Malibu's Most Wanted," Kennedy had ghostwriter Ellen Rapaport write a comic pseudo-autobiography entitled, "Wannabe: A Hollywood Experiment." The book chronicles his life in Hollywood as he attempts to become a star. It gives background on his life and family and quickly dives into his adventures. It tells of such things as Kennedy's living conditions in the Hollywood slums, his beat-up car, his kidney issues, and funky characters throughout the story. Kennedy also received a Blockbuster Best Supporting Actor Award for his role as Randy Meeks in "Scream."

As a performer of stand-up comedy, he is best known for his sketch performances on his television reality show, "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment," which not only became the WB Network's highest-ranking new show in 2002 but also attracted three million viewers each week. In 2006, Jizzy Entertainment released "Unwashed: The Stand-Up Special." In 2008, Kennedy released the documentary "Heckler," about the plight of stand-up comics versus their often-aggressive audience. In 2007, he appeared in "Criminal Minds" as a cannibal Satanist serial killer.

From 2008 to 2010, Kennedy played psychology professor Eli James in the CBS drama "Ghost Whisperer." Kennedy is also active in California's tourism campaign, having appeared in several commercials with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
