Thomas Lennon

Thomas Lennon is one of those comedians I've laughed at for years without always knowing his name, which is its own kind of achievement. Lieutenant Jim Dangle in Reno 911! is permanently lodged in my head, short shorts and all. What impresses me more is the writing side: with Robert Ben Garant he scripted the Night at the Museum films, The Pacifier, and others that quietly made enormous money. An Oak Park kid who trained at New York University, he's proof you can be both a reliable scene-stealer and the guy building the machine behind the camera. I find that range admirable.
