United Kingdom Nick Frost is an English actor, screenwriter, and comedian known for his roles in the "Three Flavours Cornetto" trilogy and his collaborations with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.
Stolen Picture, the new production banner founded by Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, partnered with Sony Pictures to produce television, film, and digital content.
Nicholas John Frost was born on March 28, 1972, in Hornchurch, Essex, England. His early life involved a significant turning point when his parents’ office furniture business failed, leading him to leave school at 15 to support his family. He spent two years working at a kibbutz in Israel before returning to the UK. These early experiences contributed to his grounded approach to his later career.
Frost began his career in corporate training video clips before gaining recognition in the television comedy series “Spaced” (1999–2001), where he played Tim’s army-obsessed best friend, Mike Watt. This marked the beginning of his notable collaboration with actor Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright. His breakout role came in the 2004 “rom-zom-com” “Shaun of the Dead,” where he starred as Ed. He continued to build a strong filmography with roles in “Hot Fuzz” (2007) as PC Danny Butterman and “The World’s End” (2013) as Andy Knightley, completing the “Three Flavours Cornetto” trilogy. He also co-wrote and starred in the 2011 science-fiction comedy film “Paul” with Simon Pegg. Beyond these well-known projects, Frost has appeared in diverse productions, including “Attack the Block” (2011), “Cuban Fury” (2014), and had voice roles in “The Boxtrolls” (2014) and “Ice Age: Continental Drift” (2012). He has also had significant television roles in “Man Stroke Woman” (2005–2007), “Hyperdrive” (2006–2007), “Mr. Sloane” (2014), and “Into the Badlands” (2017–2019).
His career has seen him expand into writing and producing, with credits including co-creating and starring in the paranormal comedy-horror series “Truth Seekers” (2020) and serving as an executive producer on films like “The World’s End” and “Slaughterhouse Rulez” (2018). Recently, Frost has been cast as Gobber the Belch in the live-action remake of “How to Train Your Dragon” (2025) and is slated to portray Rubeus Hagrid in the upcoming HBO television adaptation of the “Harry Potter” series (2027), demonstrating his continued presence in prominent film and television projects.
