Biography of Rick Moranis - Comedian
Biography
<
Richard Allen Moranis (born April 18, 1954) is a comedian and actor. He was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian syndicated comedy show SCTV, where he portrayed, among other characters, "Bob" of Bob & Doug McKenzie fame. In June of 2004, a rumor began heavily circulating on the Internet that Moranis had been killed in an incident involving a train. This proved to be false; apparently a private (if not cruel) joke posted on a private web address spiraled out of control and was taken as fact. The rumour has continued to surface and is currently (April 2005) experiencing a mild resurgence. As of 2004, Moranis was on the Advisory Committee for the Humber_College#Comedy:_Writing_and_Performance|Com edy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. ==Movies== * Brother Bear (2003) * Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer & The Island of Misfit Toys (2001) * Strange Brew 2: Home Brew (2000) * Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997) * Big Bully (1996) * Little Giants (1994) * The Flintstones (1994) * Splitting Heirs (1993) * Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992) * L.A.
