The British actor is probably best known in the U.S. for his starring roles in Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz as well as supporting roles in Star Trek and Mission Impossible 3. Before acting, Pegg was comedy writer – in 1999, he co-wrote the sitcom Spaced – and his tweets reveal the professional nerd within. Just don’t get him started on George Lucas.
