Simon Pegg stars as Scotty in J.J. Abram's movie "Star Trek" (2009).

Winner of the Peter Sellers Award for Comedy (presented by the London Evening Standard newspaper), Simon Pegg has successfully built a body of outstanding TV and film credits, not least in the creation of the break-through Channel 4 sitcom "Spaced," which went on to be nominated at the British Comedy Awards, both the UK and International BAFTAs and received a nomination for an International Emmy Award.

Simon Pegg went on to gain massive critical and commercial success with his debut feature film co-written with Edgar Wright, "Shaun of the Dead" in which he also starred as the title lead. Produced by Working Title, the film went to number one in the UK box office and top 5 in the USA box office. A brilliant debut feature, it was nominated for 'Best Film' at the 2005 BAFTAs, London Critics Circle Awards (also nominated for 'Best Screenplay'), South Bank Show Awards, the NME Awards and The British Comedy Awards. It won 'Best Screenplay' at the 2004/05 British Independent Film Awards and 'Best British Film' at the 2005 Empire Film awards.

Simon Pegg reprised his success alongside Edgar Wright with the 2007 feature "Hot Fuzz" which was released to much acclaim, opening straight at number one in the UK box office and reaching number 5 in the USA. Later that same year, Simon Pegg continued his run of box office successes starring as the lead in the feature "Run, Fat Boy, Run" which yet again opened in the top spot in the UK box office.

Simon Pegg's previous TV credits include BBC1 drama "Final Demand;" "Doctor Who;" BBC2 sitcom "Hippies" and the cult BBC sketch series "Big Train," for which he received an RTS nomination for 'Best Entertainment Performance.' Simon Pegg also co-starred in the Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks TV series "Band of Brothers."

Simon Pegg's further feature film credits include "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People," "Mission Impossible 3," "The Big Nothing" and "The Good Night."
