Nicholas Stoller

About Me

Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller, Yes Man, cut his teeth in comedy by writing for Judd Apatow's celebrated Fox television series Undeclared. Stoller made the transition to screenwriting by doing rewrites on numerous feature projects before co-writing, with Apatow, the remake of Fun with Dick and Jane, starring Jim Carrey. Stoller then made his feature directorial debut with the hit Forgetting Sarah Marshall, produced by Apatow and starring Kristen Bell and Jason Segel. His next film, which he wrote and will direct, is Get Him to the Greek, to be produced by Apatow and starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand.

Stoller's many upcoming projects include the Jack Black comedy Gulliver's Travels, on which he serves as screenwriter and Five-Year Engagement, which he wrote with the film's star Jason Segel and which Stoller will also direct. Apatow Productions will produce the film, which depicts the comedic ups and downs of a man's five-year engagement to his fiancée. Stoller and Segel also plan to re-team to write the newest Muppet movie.

Stoller, a Harvard alumnus who wrote for The Harvard Lampoon, was born in London and raised in Miami. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.
