As a Tipton, Mo. native, Koechner grew up working for his father in the family’s turkey coop business. Later, he studied at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan. and then transferred to the University of Missouri, before moving to Chicago to study improv.
This Second City Theater alum got his first big break as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live,” followed by a part in the movie “Wag the Dog.”
Always acting, writing and producing, Koechner just wrapped season 10 of ABC’s “The Goldbergs” and has several movies set to release this year, including “Ganymede” and “Half Baked 2.” His national comedy tour, “Blue Skies & Dirty Lies,” is currently crushing it in clubs from coast to coast.
Koechner’s face (and talent) is instantly recognizable. He’s starred in more than 210 movies and TV shows, including cult favorites such as “Waiting,” “Out Cold,” “Thank You for Smoking,” “Cheap Thrills,” “Krampus,” “Anchorman” and NBC’s “The Office.”
