"I like to play unattractive people who think they're pretty. You can do what you want, but I prefer to look interesting." - Amy Sedaris

American actress, author and comedienne Amy Sedaris is noted for her quick wit and outlandish charm, which assist her in winning over audiences of all walks of life. A frequent guest on The Late Show with David Letterman, she co-authored the novel Wigfield with Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert. Her 2006 guide to entertaining, entitled I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, stayed on the New York Times' best-sellers list for over 12 weeks.

Amy Sedaris has appeared in a number of films, including Elf, School of Rock, Maid in Manhattan, Dance Flick, Shrek the Third and Chicken Little. She also starred in the 2006 film adaptation of Strangers with Candy, which she co-wrote and appeared in along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Most recently, she has lent her voice to the latest installment in the Shrek series, Shrek Forever After.

Originally from Raleigh, Sedaris regularly collaborates with her brother and best-selling author David Sedaris.
