Wallace Shawn (born November 12, 1943) is an American actor and writer. Ubiquitous on film and television, where he is usually cast in comic roles, he has pursued a parallel career as a playwright whose work is often dark, politically charged and controversial. He is known for talking with a lisp, and his humourous, high pitched, and somewhat obnoxious, voice.
