Patton.[7] He has one younger brother, Matt Oswalt, a comedy writer best known for writing and starring in the YouTube web series Puddin'.

Career

[edit]
Oswalt in 2006

Oswalt began performing stand-up comedy on July 18, 1988.[13] After writing for MADtv and starring in his own 1996 comedy special for HBO, he went on to garner notable roles in films and television shows with his film debut coming in the 1996 military comedy film Down Periscope alongside Kelsey Grammer. His television debut was on the Seinfeld episode "The Couch".[14] His most prominent and longest running role was as Spence Olchin on The King of Queens.[15] His first starring film role was as the voice of Remy, the lead character in the 2007 Academy Award-winning Pixar film Ratatouille.[14] He has also appeared in smaller roles in such films as Magnolia[14] and 22 Jump Street.

Oswalt wrote the comic book story "JLA: Welcome to the Working Week", a backup story in Batman #600; a story for Dwight T. Albatross's The Goon Noir #01 and a story for Masks: Too Hot for TV.[16] Expanding his voice artist repertoire, he began voicing the villainous character Tobey on PBS Kids GO! series WordGirl in 2007.[17] He also appeared on the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner.

[edit]

McNamara died in her sleep in the family's Los Angeles home on April 21, 2016. Her death was attributed to a combination of a previously undiagnosed heart condition and complications from ingested medications, including Adderall, Xanax, and fentanyl.[52] The season-three finale of The Goldbergs was dedicated to her memory.

On August 1, 2016, Oswalt announced that he had been working to complete McNamara's unfinished nonfiction book about the Golden State Killer.[53] In September 2017, Oswalt announced that the book, titled I'll Be Gone in the Dark, was scheduled for release on February 27, 2018, and was subsequently available for preorders.[54] Less than two months after the book's release, on April 25, 2018, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department announced they had made an arrest in the Golden State Killer case. Oswalt posted a brief video to Instagram, saying: "I think you got him, Michelle."[55] He also posted on Twitter that same day, saying that he hoped to visit the suspect if he was indeed the Golden State Killer, "not to gloat or gawk - to ask him the questions that [McNamara] wanted answered in her 'Letter to an Old Man'" at the end of her book.[56]

Oswalt is a longtime comic book fan, particularly a DC Comics fan, which he has discussed in his stand-up. He has written a few issues for comics.[57] He is also a cinephile, having watched 4,000 films, including 720 films from 1995 to 1999 at the New Beverly Cinema.[58][59]

Oswalt has been diagnosed with clinical depression, which he has dealt with throughout his adult life. He has incorporated these experiences into his comedy routines.[60]

In July 2017, he and actress Meredith Salenger confirmed their engagement.[61] They were married in November 2017.[62][63]

In 2013, he teamed up with PETA, spoke out against chaining pet dogs, and sent a letter to the mayor and members of the city council of Newport News, Virginia, urging them to ban the practice.[64]

Oswalt is an outspoken atheist[65] and has referred to his atheism in his comedy specials: No Reason to Complain, Feelin' Kinda Patton, My Weakness Is Strong, and Finest Hour.

Oswalt's influences include Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor,[66] Emo Philips, Blaine Capatch, Jim Goad,[67] Bill Hicks, Bobcat Goldthwait, Sam Kinison, Steve Martin,[68][69] and Louis C.K.[69]

Oswalt is a progressive and a supporter of the Democratic Party, having endorsed Barack Obama for re-election as president in 2012 and Joe Biden in 2020.[70] Oswalt was an outspoken critic of President-elect Donald Trump. In January 2019, following an intense Twitter feud with a Trump supporter, he donated $2,000 to the man's GoFundMe fund created to help cover his medical expenses.[71][72][73]
