Comedian, actor, television writer, author and musician Paul Reiser is one of Hollywood’s most prolific creatives.

Following The Problem with People, an independent comedy filmed entirely in Ireland that he wrote, produced and starred in alongside Colm Meaney and Jane Levy, Reiser has continued to release projects across a variety of media.

In Marvel Comics’ Aliens: What If…?, Carter Burke—Reiser’s iconic character from Aliens—reemerged in a new comic-book storyline.

Reiser co-wrote The New York Times Best-Seller What a Fool Believes, the candid, freewheeling memoir of his friend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Michael McDonald from HarperCollins/DeyStreet.

In films, Paul reprised his role from Beverly Hills Cop and Beverly Hills Cop II in Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and appeared in Magnolia Pictures’ comedy The Gutter, directed by Isaiah and Yassir Lester, premiering at SXSW.

He has been busy in TV as well. Appraising his role in Hulu’s critically acclaimed comedy series Reboot from Modern Family creator Steve Levitan, Awards Daily wrote “Reiser truly excels, giving one of his very best performances…Here, he reminds us just how very funny and experienced he is in the world of television comedy.”

He also took his first step into bloody, superhero glory in Season 3 of Amazon Prime’s Emmy-nominated The Boys playing “The Legend,” and returns in the upcoming final season of the show.

Reiser also returned to his comedy roots with the release of Life, Death and Rice Pudding, his first stand-up special in more than 30 years.

Reiser is widely celebrated for his roles in two hit shows for Netflix: Stranger Things—one of Netflix’s biggest series of all time—and Chuck Lorre’s The Kominsky Method, for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor.

Mad �鶹�� You, the long-running Emmy, Peabody, and Golden Globe-winning comedy that Reiser created and starred in with Helen Hunt returned as a limited series on Spectrum Originals.

Throughout his prolific career, Reiser has worked with both independent and mainstream filmmakers. After earning acclaim for his supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film Whiplash, Reiser appeared in frequent collaborator Jeff Baena’s The Little Hours and Horse Girl, which premiered at Sundance 2020, the fourth film the pair has worked on together. The veteran actor has garnered praise for notable performances in films such as Diner, Bye Bye Love, One Night At McCool’s, and The Thing �鶹�� My Folks, which Reiser wrote for his co-star Peter Falk.

Reiser is a fixture behind the camera as well. He co-created and produced the seven-episode series There’s Johnny, a fictional story set behind the scenes of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show circa 1972, co-produced with director David Gordon Green. The show premiered to critical praise, with Decider saying There’s Johnny! is “a television experience unlike any I’ve seen on TV in recent years” and “unfolds like a dream, a memory fondly recalled.”

As an author, Reiser’s first book, Couplehood, sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestsellers list. His subsequent books, Babyhood and Familyhood, were bestsellers as well.

Voted by Comedy Central as one of the Top 100 Comedians of All Time, Reiser regularly performs sold-out stand-ups at venues nationwide.

A graduate of �鶹��'s acclaimed music program, Reiser co-wrote the theme song for Mad �鶹�� You, “The Final Frontier,” with Grammy-winning producer Don Was, and released an album of original songs with British singer-songwriter Julia Fordham called Unusual Suspects. Over the course of his career, Reiser has received multiple Emmys, Golden Globes, American Comedy Awards, and Screen Actors Guild nominations.

Reiser and his family reside in Los Angeles.
