Jemaine Clement voices Nigel in "Rio," alongside Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Jemaine Clement, Leslie Mann, Tracy Morgan, will.i.am and Rodrigo Santoro.

Native New Zealander Jemaine Clement has been involved in a wide array of projects on stage, radio, television, and film. He is perhaps best known for his starring role as Jemaine on HBO's comedy "Flight of the Conchords."

Jemaine is one half of sketch comedy duo Humourbeasts with Taika Cohen, the Academy Award nominee with whom he teamed

for a film called "Eagle vs. Shark," written and directed by Cohen and starring Clement. "Tongan Ninja," a film he co-wrote with director Jason Stutter, features Jemaine as Action Fighter, the aptly-named nemesis of the title character. Clement also appeared in "Dinner for Schmucks" and had a voice role in "Despicable Me."

In 1998, Clement joined fellow New Zealander Bret McKenzie in an endeavor initially intended simply as a vehicle for the two bourgeoning entertainers to learn guitar. The duo performed very briefly under the monikers Moustache and Vested Interest before arriving at the name Flight of the Conchords. They have since been named "Best Alternative Comedy Act" at the 2005 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, "Best Newcomer" at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, and been nominated for the Perrier Comedy award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

They released a live album called "Folk in the World" and a six-part BBC Radio series for which they won a U.K. Comedy Award. In 2005, FOTC made numerous late night appearances and filmed a "One Night Stand" for HBO. It then became a popular HBO series, which followed the trials and tribulations of a two-man digi-folk band from New Zealand as they try to make a name for themselves in their adopted home in New York City. The show aired from 2007 to 2009.
