From stand-up comedian to writer and actor to voice over extraordinaire, Patton Oswalt is one of comedy’s most unique and versatile voices. Hailing from Portsmouth, VA, Oswalt grew up under the influence of Richard Pryor, the slapstick of Looney Tunes and the adventures of comic book superheroes. Although his first attempt at stand-up went south, he knew it was his passion. Realized Oswalt, “The thing that I love that is giving me no immediate reward is probably the thing that I should do with my life.”
