**Nick Frost: A Career of Accidental Genius**
There's something endearing about Nick Frost, an actor who often seems to be himself rather than a character. This is partly due to the serendipitous pairing with Simon Pegg in the sitcom Spaced, where Frost was working as a waiter at the time. Their shared passions for comedy, horror and sci-fi led to an on-screen bromance that became the foundation of their careers.
Frost has since appeared in a range of roles, often alongside Pegg or co-starring with other comedic talents like Richard Curtis and Iain Morris. These collaborations have yielded some of his most memorable performances, including his portrayal of Ed in Shaun of the Dead and Danny Butterman in Hot Fuzz. The duo's work together is so familiar it feels like an extension of their real-life friendship.
However, Frost has also pursued a diverse range of roles that showcase his versatility as an actor. He's played a factory worker, a DJ, a local dealer, and even a WWE wrestler, among many other eccentric characters. His writing credits include the comedy Get Away and Paul, which paired him with Pegg in a story about two British geeks on a US road trip.
On television, Frost has made appearances in a variety of genres, from sci-fi to Christmas specials. He's narrated Supernanny and voiced SM-33 in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, further expanding his repertoire as an actor and writer.
As he prepares for an upcoming role as Hagrid in HBO's Harry Potter series, fans have the chance to ask Frost about everything from his love of West Ham to his infamous bathroom mishap. Get your questions in by midday on Tuesday 27 January, and we'll print his answers in Film & Music on Friday 30 January.

he's like the ultimate comedic genius - always playing these lovable weirdos that feel so genuine. From Shaun of the Dead to Hot Fuzz, those buddy cop movies are CLASSIC 
and I love how he's not afraid to poke fun at himself too. The fact that he co-created Get Away with Richard Curtis is also a major win 
it's like they were meant to make comedy magic together! Can't wait to see him as Hagrid in the Harry Potter series, that's gonna be EPIC 
He and Simon Pegg have got this amazing chemistry that works both on and off screen 
I mean, can you imagine anyone else playing Danny Butterman or Ed? The guy just seems to find these quirky characters so effortlessly relatable 
He's got this knack for creating these lovable, eccentric characters that you can't help but root for 
but honestly who knew he was so versatile? 
I mean i know he's had some iconic roles with Simon Pegg (hello Shaun of the Dead!) but his range is actually pretty impressive. He's played everything from a WWE wrestler to a factory worker lol what's next? 
I think it's awesome that he's been able to balance comedy with more dramatic roles and even ventured into writing His dedication to his craft is def admirable, cant wait to see him as Hagrid in the new Harry Potter series 
His chemistry with Simon Pegg is undeniable and it's no surprise they've had so many successful collaborations over the years 
The fact that he's played such a wide range of roles from comedy to sci-fi shows just how versatile he is as an actor, and I'm excited to see what he'll bring to his next role as Hagrid 
Those two are like comedy gold, and their bromance is just the best. I love how he's not afraid to be weird or go all out in his roles - from Ed in Shaun of the Dead to that epic WWE wrestling stint 
. And let's not forget Get Away and Paul with Pegg - genius writing duo alert! Frost has got some serious talent hidden beneath that lovable, lanky exterior 
.
. And what's up with the WWE wrestling gig? Was that really his thing? 
. And let's be real, his chemistry with Simon Pegg is one of the best partnerships in comedy history - it's like they're two peas in a pod 
.
I just loooove Nick Frost!!! He's like the ultimate comedic genius
