Biography
Jemaine Clement is a musician, comedian and actor who is no stranger to offbeat characters.
The native New Zealander has been involved in a wide array of projects on stage, radio, television and film. He is one-half of the Grammy® Award-winning duo Flight of the Conchords. Billing themselves as the "fourth-most popular folk parody duo in New Zealand," the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterization and acoustic folk guitars. Their quirky act was later converted into a BBC radio series, followed by the seven-time Emmy® nominated American television series, "The Flight of the Conchords," which premiered on HBO in 2007. Clement has also received three shared WGA® nominations for his scripting of the series.
Clement also starred in the film Eagle vs Shark, written and directed by Taika Waititi.
The actor's credits include voice roles in the animated films Despicable Me and Rio; the lead in Jason Nutter's period crime comedy, Predicament; and Jay Roach's comedy ensemble Dinner With Schmucks. Prior to that, he portrayed the eccentric science fiction author Dr. Ronald Chevalier in Gentlemen Broncos, directed by Jared Hess. His performance in the film netted him an Independent Spirit Nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
