James Harvey Kennedy or Jamie Kennedy (born May
25, 1970 in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania) is an
United States|American comedian and actor. After
studying acting in college, he began his career as
a Hollywood, California|Hollywood extra and honed
his skills at voice impersonations. This skill led
to, among other things, an unorthodoxed success in
the way of creating a false persona, screen agent
Marty Power (a fictitious person). Posing as Marty
Power over the telephone, Kennedy attracted the
attention of real agents and managers who would
later book his performances. He eventually landed
his first major motion picture role as Randy Meeks
in the film Scream (movie)|Scream.

As a performer of stand-up comedy, Kennedy is best
known for his sketch performances on his
television reality show, The Jamie Kennedy
Experiment (which became the Warner Brothers
Network|WB Network's highest ranking new show in
2002). He has also performed minor roles in a
number of other films.

Kennedy has claimed to be the great-grandson of L.
Ron Hubbard.  After mentioning this in his
stand-up performances, the Church of Scientology
threatened legal action against him unless he
stopped making this claim.  The relationship
between the two persons, however, has not been
disproved.
