 Actor and comedian, Harland Williams, makes his home in Hollywood, California. It's easy to see why this versatile performer is quite literally a Hollywood chameleon.Who can forget his memorable role as the pee-drinking cop in Dumb and Dumber? The loveable horse killing stoner, “Kenny,” in Half Baked. The hitchhiking serial killer in Something About Mary. The silent motorcycle stud, “Slater,” in Superstar. The goofball astronaut “Fred Z. Randall,” in Rocketman. The whale calling, “Sonar,” in Down Periscope, or “Roberta,” the ugliest red head in the world in Sorority Boys.
Williams other film credits include, The Whole Nine Yards, Disney's Mister Headmistress, Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered, E' televisions, Becoming Dick, Fox's Because of Winn-Dixie, Fox's animated film Robots, and the soon to be released independent film Surf School.
Harland most recently closed a deal with DreamWorks Animation to write and direct his own animated feature called Route 66.
Williams is also seen regularly on “Late Night with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” and “Late Night with Conan O'Brian.”
Williams has also done solo Stand Up Comedy Specials for HBO, Comedy Central, CTV, and CBC. Other television credits include his own sitcom “Simon,” for the WB, as well as a co-starring role on “The Geena Davis Show.”
Williams has also supplied voices for the animated series “Gary and Mike” on Comedy Central. “Ned's Newt,” a Saturday morning kids cartoon, and several other guest voices on various other animated shows.
Williams is also an accomplished author and illustrator of his own series of children's books, involving a little brontosaurus named Lickety Split and is currently producing three new books for Penguin Publishing.
A live comedy CD and an upcoming DVD comedy special are just two of his latest projects. The third is something new for Williams, his first music CD. Entitled The Cousins, Harland and his talented cousin Kevin Hearn (from the Barenaked Ladies) have combined their music and singing talents to create their first EP - The Cousins, The love song years.
