We Want to Know from Nick Frost: What's Behind His Unlikely Career?
What makes Nick Frost so likable? It might be because he doesn't act – he just is. The former waiter-turned-comedy icon owes it all to Simon Pegg, who gave him a chance to shine as Mike Watt in Spaced, and the rest is history.
From spouting guffaws with Pegg over Star Wars to getting stuck in slacker mode as Ed in Shaun of the Dead, Frost's on-screen partnerships have been some of his most memorable. The two actors also co-wrote and starred in Paul, about a US road trip that went horribly wrong for some British geeks.
Frost has also branched out into other genres – from sci-fi to WWE wrestling – in a career marked by unexpected detours. Who knew he'd be a factory worker or a teen salsa champion? His horror comedy Get Away and an upcoming role as Hagrid in the Harry Potter series showcase his range, but also raise questions.
So what's behind Frost's enduring appeal? Is it his quirky sense of humor or something more?
