Brit of the Week

*Though he's not technically
British
(Ireland
is not part of the United
Kingdom),
I am including him.

Born in Sligo and raised in Boyle, Ireland, comic actor Chris O'Dowd (Oct. 9, 1979) attended the University College of Dublin and went on to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He's well known to British audiences for his roles in the television shows "Roman's Empire" and "Red Cap". But it's his performance in the laugh-out-loud series "The IT Crowd" that has garnered him a lot of fame. American audiences will soon get to know him in the films "The Boat That Rocked", the hilarious "Bridesmaids", and the upcoming Jack Black comedy "Gulliver's Travels".
