About the Author
Keegan-Michael Key is an Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning writer, actor, and producer--and one of Hollywood's most in-demand forces. With his extraordinarily diverse skill set and wide-ranging talent in both comedy and drama, Key redefines what it means to be a chameleon and multi-hyphenate in the worlds of film, television, and theater. From his multiple-award-winning show Key & Peele (on Comedy Central, now Hulu) with sketches that often went viral on YouTube; to stints on Fargo and Parks and Recreation; to voicework in feature animations The Lion King, Toy Story 4, and Pinocchio; to his debut on Broadway in Steve Martin's Meteor Shower; to his feature films like Keanu with Jordan Peele, playing Meryl Streep's love interest in Netflix's The Prom, a singing, dancing curmudgeon in Netflix's Emmy-nominated Schmigadoon!, a movie star in Judd Apatow's The Bubble, and starring opposite Timothée Chalamet in the upcoming Wonka; Key's wildly varied and indelible performances have won him fans of all ages and backgrounds.
