Kevin James

With his booming voice and irrepressible energy, Kevin James has established himself as one of the most beloved comedic actors in Hollywood. Born in Mineola, New York, James got his start in comedy clubs and improv groups before landing his breakout role as the lovable but dim-witted Doug Heffernan on the hit TV show "The King of Queens" (1998-2007). His portrayal of the gruff but well-meaning delivery guy earned him a loyal following and set the stage for his transition to film. James has since become known for his signature blend of physical comedy, witty one-liners, and lovable buffoonery in films like "Hitch" (2005), "Zookeeper" (2011), and "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" (2009). His most notable role, however, is probably that of Paul Blart, the well-intentioned but hapless mall security guard who gets caught up in a series of wacky misadventures. James' uncanny ability to find humor in even the most mundane situations has made him a fan favorite and a go-to guy for big-screen laughs. With his larger-than-life persona and infectious enthusiasm, Kevin James continues to bring joy and belly laughs to audiences everywhere.
