Tom Green

Michael Thomas (Tom) Green (born July 30, 1971 in Pembroke, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian singer, shock comic and actor. He grew up in Ottawa, Canada, and had his first series on local cable TV. Green was married to actress Drew Barrymore for a year and a half in 2001 and 2002.

Green had a short-lived career as a rapper in a band called Organized Rhyme.

The Tom Green Show typically consists of stunts played by Tom on unsuspecting people. A number of them have involved Green's parents, who appear not to be in on the joke. Some of Green's most notable skits include humping a dead moose (referenced by rapper Eminem), having an X-rated lesbian scene painted on his father's car, drinking milk by sucking a cow's udder, and putting a cow head in his parents bed while they slept.

Later in his career, he acted in several Hollywood movies including Road Trip, Freddy Got Fingered, and Stealing Harvard.

Green was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2000 and made a one-hour special on his surgery.

In 2003, Green returned with a nightly talk show on MTV called, appropriately, "The New Tom Green Show". Marking a change from his earlier work, he was compared in print to a young Carson or Letterman. Nevertheless, it was cancelled by MTV a few months after it premiered.
