Tom Green grew out in Ottawa, being his comedy career in his teen years entertaining his friends. By college he was doing stand-up comedy and even released a rap album. After he graduated, he got his TV debut on a local station with The Tom Greeb Show which soon found its way into MTV's collection of purchases airing it in 1999.

At MTV he rose to new heights of popularity with tastless but never the less highly entertaining gags and his infamous "Cancer Special." He then moved into films with small rolls in movies such as Superstar.

Then in 2000, the funniest movie of all time, Road Trip hit cinema screens with Tom Green playing the geeky student, Barry. He also got a cameo in Carlie's Angels released 2000, which ended with himself and Drew Barrymore, marrying the next year.

After The Tom Green Show ended, he decided to concentrate on movie making, starring and directing in Freddy Got Fingered featuring more of the crude humor that made him famous. Unfortunatly the movie did not do too well.
