Patton Oswalt Takes a Serious Turn
“The King of Queens” was one of my favorite sitcoms, so when it ended its 9 year run in 2007 I was bummed. One of my favorite characters from the series, Spence Olchin, was played by comedian Patton Oswalt.
Since “King” went off the air in 2007, Oswalt has kept himself plenty busy with comedy gigs, a stint as the rat in “Ratatouille”, episodes of “Kim Possible” and a slew of other supporting roles in comedies and children’s shows.
His latest role is a serious one- he stars in the Robert Siegel movie “The Big Fan”. This movie is not a comedy and it’s not for kids- and Oswalt has the lead role as an obsessed New York Giants fan.
“The Big Fan” debuts this month at The Sundance Film Festival.
