Read Simon Pegg’s full bio below:

Simon Pegg co-wrote and co-starred (as Tim Bisley) in the acclaimed, cult television show Spaced. After two groundbreaking seasons, he moved on to develop and co-write, with Edgar Wright, the critically praised feature Shaun of the Dead, starring as the eponymous hero, Shaun. The film has since been voted one of the Best British Comedies ever made by many, including Empire magazine and Channel 4. After conquering zombies, award ceremonies and the rest of the world, Pegg and Wright reprised their debut movie success with the smash-hit follow-up feature, Hot Fuzz, in which Pegg starred as über cop Nicholas Angel. Pegg then went on to star in the David Schwimmer-directed feature film, Run Fatboy Run, and as the anti-hero, Sidney Young, in How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, alongside Kirsten Dunst and Jeff Bridges.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost returned to the screen together in their co-written feature film Paul with a cast including Seth Rogan, Jason Bateman, Steven Spielberg and Sigourney Weaver and also completed the final installment of their ‘Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy’ in style with The Worlds End, once again directed by Edgar Wright and receiving unanimous critical acclaim worldwide. Pegg’s other notable credits include Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin; John Landis’ Burke & Hare, voicing ‘Reepicheep’ in The Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader and ‘Buck’ in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs & 2016’s Ice Age: Collision Course as well as starring in his own ‘Buck’ spin off feature, ‘The Adventures of Buck Wild’ in 2021. Simon was also seen boldly going into the J.J. Abrams-directed global hits Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness playing the iconic role of Montgomery Scott (Scotty) as well as co-writing and starring in 2016’s Star Trek Beyond

He also reprised his Mission: Impossible III role as Benji Dunn three more times in the box-office-beating hits, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation & Mission Impossible Fallout. Pegg also had a very well kept ‘secret’ role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens playing junkboss Unkar Plutt as well as having a behind-the-scenes role as a sounding board for the JJ Abrams story.

2018 saw Simon take on dual duties as both Ogden Morrow and the voice of The Curator in Steven Spielberg’s hugely successful adaptation of Ernest Cline’s novel Ready Player One. With more recent roles, such as playing a much talked about character, Hugh Campbell Sr, in Amazon Studios’ smash hit adaptation of popular comic-book series The Boys, the voice of The Chamberlain in Netflix’ The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance , Pegg also starred alongside Juno Temple in Katharine O’Brien’s intimate look at the devastating impact of mental illness in Lost Transmissions.

In 2024, Pegg featured his 5th instalment of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning and also lead the cast of Peter Kosminsky’s cyber-thriller The Undeclared War, in a return to where it all began for him with Spaced, at Channel 4. Pegg then featured in an extended role in the latest season of The Boys in 2024 and completed production on Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning – which marks an impressive 20 years working on the franchise for him – out in May 2025.

He has just completed filming on the second season of The Undeclared War for C4 and it was also recently announced that Simon will once again voice the character of Buck Wild in the next installment of the Ice Age franchise.
