His work with old pal Simon Pegg.
Early-life:
Nicholas John Frost was born in Romford on March 28th, 1972. He left school at the age of 15 and by his own admission "kicked around for a couple of years", before moving to Israel. He returned to the UK 16 months later, and got a temporary job as a waiter. Five years later, he met Simon Pegg, who eventually moved in as his flatmate. Nick used to make his chum laugh in the pub with the character Mike, which Pegg asked his friend to do on the new show he was writing, Spaced.
Career:
Frost's starring role in Spaced led to other roles, most notably a one-off episode of Acorn Antiques. In 2002, Frost presented the show Danger! 50,000 Volts! as well as co-writing and starring in the radio comedy Sofa of Time. Two years later, Frost and Pegg teamed up for the smash "rom-zom-com" Shaun of the Dead (2004). Their next big-screen foray, Hot Fuzz (2007), went down equally well with audiences. The third film in their trilogy, The World's End, was released in 2013. Frost has also starred in TV comedies Hyperdrive and Mr Sloane, and the films Penelope (2006), Paul (2011), Attack the Block (2011) and Cuban Fury (2014).
Quote:
"I'm a completely different person today because of Simon Pegg. I like to think he introduced me to culture, and I taught him how to make a good bong and the best way to shotgun a can of Special Brew."
Trivia:
He voiced Thomson in The Adventures of Tintin (2011).
