Kevin James

Kevin James is an American actor and comedian best known for the sitcom *The King of Queens* (1998–2007) and a string of lowbrow comedies, often produced by Adam Sandler.

His persona trades on physical comedy and everyman appeal—the schlubby husband paired with an inexplicably attractive wife.

Another Kevin James movie where he falls down a lot.
