	Actors - Nick Frost

Nick Frost (born March 28 1972) is an English actor and comedian most famous for his work with Simon Pegg.

Born in Essex, Frost worked as a waiter before gaining fame as Tim's Army-obsessed best friend Mike in the groundbreaking British comedy Spaced, which was written by Pegg and Jessica Stevenson and aired on Channel 4 for two series.

In 2002, Frost wrote and presented a TV show called Danger! 50,000 Volts!, which presented viewers with various worst-case scenarios and offered sensible and easy-to-understand ways out of these situations, blended throughout with Frost's unique humour. In the DVD release of the program, a 30 minute spin-off episode called Danger! 50,000 Zombies! is included as an extra. This episode sees Frost paired up with Pegg as they deal with the situation of a zombie outbreak and what one should do in this situation.

In 2004, Frost appeared in Shaun of the Dead
, a rom-zom-com (romantic comedy, with zombies), written once again by Pegg along with Spaced director Edgar Wright. The film follows the life of Shaun, a dissaffected store clerk who tries to win back his girlfriend in the midst of a zombie outbreak. Frost played Ed, the lovable oaf and best friend of Shaun.

In late 2005 he starred in the comedy sketch show Man Stroke Woman, which aired on BBC3.

In early 2006 Frost played the lead character, Commander Henderson, in new BBC Two sci-fi sitcom, Hyperdrive. A second series will air in 2007.

Both Frost and Pegg are to appear in a second Pegg-Wright feature, Hot Fuzz
, a film which is set to be an action and cop genre homage, taking in place in rural Somerset. Frost is to play bumbling Constable Danny Butterman, who partners up with Pegg's Nicholas Angel after he transfers from London.

Frost and Pegg are rumoured to be working on La Triviata, a show about a pub-quiz team, in which he plays the character Ben Cherry. In real life, Pegg and Frost are members of their own pub-quiz team named QWA (Quizzas With Attitude).
