Dana Carvey is an Emmy Award-winning actor and comedian who was a cast member of Saturday Night Live and played “Garth” in the film Wayne’s World. He was born in Missoula, Montana. After college he performed stand-up comedy and moved to Hollywood. His early tv roles failed to hit but Lorne Michaels asked him to join the Saturday Night Live cast in 1986. Carvey made the leap to the big screen in the 1992 hit Wayne’s World. He won an Emmy Award in 1993 when he departed SNL after seven years on the show.
His other credits include Clean Slate, The Road to Wellville, and Trapped in Paradise. He returned to television in 1996 with The Dana Carvey Show. Early on, the show encountered difficulty when it made fun of some of its advertisers, which led them to withdraw their support for the program. The gutsy sketch comedy show lasted less than two months.
