Dane Jeffrey Cook (born March 18, 1972) is an American stand-up comedian and film actor. He is known for his use of observational, often vulgar, and sometimes dark comedy. He released six comedy albums: Harmful If Swallowed (2003), Retaliation (2005), Vicious Circle (2006), Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden (2007), and Isolated Incident (2009).
He is one of the first comedians to use a personal webpage and Myspace to build a large fan base,[1]
and in 2006 was described as "alarmingly popular".[2]
Cook starred in numerous films such as Employee of the Month (2006), Good Luck Chuck (2007), and My Best Friend's Girl (2008). He also acted in Mystery Men (1999), Waiting... (2005), Dan in Real Life (2007), Mr. Brooks (2007) and provided the lead voice role in the 2013 animated sports film Planes, and its 2014 sequel Planes: Fire & Rescue as Dusty Crophopper.
He was the second comedian[3] (after Andrew Dice Clay) to sell out Madison Square Garden's large arena space.[4] In 2006, Retaliation became the highest-charting comedy album in 28 years and went platinum.[5] He performed an HBO special in late 2006, Vicious Circle, a straight-to-DVD special titled Rough Around The Edges (which is included in the album of the same name), and a Comedy Central special in 2009 titled Isolated Incident.
