Profile of Rick Moranis on Famous Like Me

Richard Allen Moranis (born April 18, 1954) is a comedian and actor.

He was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian syndicated comedy show SCTV, where he portrayed, among other characters, "Bob" of Bob & Doug McKenzie fame.

In June of 2004, a rumor began heavily circulating on the Internet that Moranis had been killed in an incident involving a train. This proved to be false; apparently a private (if not cruel) joke posted on a private web address spiraled out of control and was taken as fact. The rumour has continued to surface and is currently (April 2005) experiencing a mild resurgence.

As of 2004, Moranis was on the Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world.

In 2005, Moranis released an album of country songs entitled "The Agoraphobic Cowboy". The album was produced by Tony Scherr and is distributed through his offical website.
