Colin Mochrie
Colin Mochrie (born 30 November 1957) is a Scottish-born Canadian actor and widely believed to be one of the best improv comedians in the world. He has twenty-five years of performing experience.
Born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, he moved with his family to Canada in 1964. He is an alumnus of Toronto's famous Second City comedy troupe, where he co-wrote and starred in three productions as well as directed three seasons of their National Touring Company.
After nine hugely successful years as a regular on the British Channel 4 hit improvisation series Whose Line is it Anyway?, he became a regular on the American version hosted by Drew Carey which aired on ABC.
Already one of the most highly visible actors in North American television, he joined This Hour Has 22 Minutes on CBC TV in 2001 through 2003. However, he is no longer part of the show due to movies and other TV commitments.
Mochrie will return in Fall 2004 with his new CBC Show Getting Along Famously, and will also appear on The WB Television Network series Drew Carey's Green Screen.
Mochrie married Debra McGrath in 1989, and they have a son, Luke.
