Before Ashton Kutcher ‘Punked’, Jamie Kennedy ‘X’d’!
This off-beat, high-energy actor is known for his TV show ‘The Jamie
Kennedy Experiment’, a ‘Candid Camera’ meets ‘Saturday Night Live’
program combining irreverent on-the-street sneak attacks and elaborate
pranks captured by hidden camera, with a live studio audience.
Even though he was bitten by the acting bug early in life - as an extra
in ‘Dead Poets Society’ - Kennedy says his first love remains stand-up
comedy, which he's been doing steadily since he moved to Los Angeles at
the age of 19. "It's just something that is totally live," said
Kennedy. "You get great feedback right away of what works and what
doesn't. Plus, it was just another way to practice acting."
Kennedy’s big break came when he was cast in Baz Luhrmann's ‘Romeo +
Juliet’, but his role in Wes Craven's ‘Scream’ - which broke box office
records and landed Kennedy with a Blockbuster Best Supporting Actor
Award - put his name on the Hollywood map. Kennedy has acted in many
movies including ‘As Good as It Gets’, ‘Enemy of the State’,
‘Bowfinger’, ‘Three Kings’ and ‘Son of Mask’.
In 2002 ‘The Jamie Kennedy Experiment’ (JKX) was born. JKX quickly
became The WB's highest-ranking new show, attracting three million
viewers each week. Jamie went on to write and star in ‘Malibu's Most
Wanted’, a movie based on his most popular character, Brad Gluckman, a
wanna-be white rapper.
On his busy film and television schedule that doesn’t leave much time
for stand-up Jamie says "I make time because it’s a cool gig and its
fun. I’ve done stand-up my whole life. I’m not really known for it, but
that’s where I came up with the show idea."
