Kevin Smith

Biography

Multiple award winning writer, actor, director and producer Kevin Smith has seen it all - from the surprise critical and commercial success he’s received for films like Clerks, Clerks II, Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back to the less than ideal reception of films like Mallrats and Jersey Girl. Kevin is also the creative force behind cult classics like Dogma.

Kevin has published the screenplays to six of his films, written comic books featuring not only his own characters (the multiple-printed Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob), but also legendary mainstays of the superhero world (the award-winning Daredevil and Spider-Man and the Black Cat at Marvel Comics, and the award-winning Green Arrow at DC Comics), and written a monthly column for UK based Arena Magazine – the lion’s share of which were reprinted in the best-selling book Silent Bob Speaks.

With his View Askew partner, Scott Mosier, he’s also executive-produced four low-budget, first-film efforts (including Bryan Johnson’s Vulgar), one large-budget, multiple Academy Award winner (Good Will Hunting), and a pair of Sundance-selected documentaries (Reel Paradise and Small Town Gay Bar).

Fans who want to see Kevin in cyberspace can visit the insanely popular View Askewniverse website - which he established in the mid 1990’s – as well his online diary entitled “My Boring-Ass Life,” found at www.silentbobspeaks.com.

And if the film thing doesn’t pan out, there’s always retail: Smith owns two comic book stores, both named ‘Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash’ (one in Red Bank, New Jersey and the other in Westwood, Los Angeles).
