Simon Pegg has successfully built a body of outstanding TV and film credits – not least in the creation of the break-through Channel 4 sitcom Spaced, which he co-wrote and starred in (with Jessica Stevenson).

The public and industry success of Spaced, led to a second series being commissioned before the first had even been broadcast and both series brought forth nominations at the British Comedy Awards (including Best Sitcom, and ‘Best TV Newcomer’ for Simon), ‘Best Sitcom’ for both the UK and International BAFTAs and a nomination for an International Emmy Award.

Simon has gained massive critical and commercial success with his debut written feature film, Shaun of the Dead, which he also starred in - as the title lead. Produced by Working Title, the film went to number 1 in the UK box office – and top 5 in the USA box office. A brilliant debut feature, it was nominated for Best Film awards at the 2005 Baftas; London Critics Circle Awards (also nominated for Best Screenplay); Empire Film Awards; South Bank Show Awards; The NME Awards and The British Comedy Awards. It won Best Screenplay at the 2004/05 British Independent Film Awards and Best British Film at the 2005 Empire Film awards.

In the past year Simon has filmed lead roles in features such as Run, Fat Boy, Run (directed by David Schwimmer and co-starring Thandie Newton and Hank Azaria), The Good Night (directed by Jake Paltrow and co-starring Penelope Cruz; Gwyneth Paltrow; Martin Freeman and Danny Devito), and The Big Nothing, starring alongside David Schwimmer.

Simon Pegg also appears in the feature films: Mission Impossible 3; The Reckoning; 24 Hour Party People and The Parole Officer. Simon also co-starred in the acclaimed Tube Tales – in the ‘Steal Away’ episode, and previous TV credits include:  the BBC1 drama Final Demand(with Tamsin Outhwaite); the BBC 2 sitcom Hippies (as Ray) and 2 series of the BBC sketch series, Big Train, for which he received an RTS nomination for ‘Best Entertainment Performance’.

Simon Pegg has also co-starred in the Steven Spielberg/ Tom Hanks’ TV series Band of Brothers; 2 series of the award-winning ITV sitcom Faith in the Future – in which he starred as a lead character, ‘Jools’; I’m Alan Partridge (BBC); Friday Night Armistice / Saturday Armistice (BBC); Black Books (C4); Brass Eye (C4); Dr Who (2005) BBC, and  ‘Laugh until you die’ – the lead part in a single drama for ITV.

An accomplished and skilled writer, Simon recently provided the script ‘polish’ for the major animation feature film Free Jimmy - and is currently in discussions with both US and UK feature film companies for writing projects.
