Christopher Nash "Chris" Elliott (born May 31, 1960) is an American actor, comedian and writer. He is best known for his comedic sketches on Late Night with David Letterman, starring in the cult comedy series Get a Life and for his recurring role as Peter MacDougall on Everybody Loves Raymond. He is also known for appearing in movies such as Cabin Boy, There's Something About Mary, Scary Movie 2 and Groundhog Day. Since 2011, Elliott has starred in the Adult Swim series Eagleheart.
Elliott was born in New York City, the son of Lee and Bob Elliott, who was a well-known comedian as part of the very successful comedy team Bob and Ray. He attended the National Theater Institute in 1979.
Elliott became known in the mid-late 1980s, when he was a writer and performer on Late Night With David Letterman, playing an assortment of recurring oddball characters. His characters on the show included:
In 1986 Elliot starred in the Cinemax special FDR: A One Man Show, about the life and times of the president. He looked and sounded nothing like the man; he portrayed events from Roosevelt's life that never happened, such as a Japanese bombing of the White House, and his crossing the Potomac in a rowboat. He was also rude to the audience during the intermission, appearing out of character and scolding them. By the end of the disorganized show, he attempted to salvage it by reverting to former comedian Gallagher's shtick of smashing watermelons and other soft fruits on stage. The effect was only partially successful, however.

Genres: Drama,You say that somewhere over the rainbow,
There's a star that you've been wishin' on.
Well is the grass really that much greener,
Than here where you belong?
I hope that you find what you're after,
And I hope all of your dreams come true,
Just remember I'll always be here,
When your yellow brick road turns blue.
You say that you're having trouble,
Tellin' me why you can't stay.
It's not that you don't really love me,
It's just the winds of change are blowin' your way.
I know there's a road that you must follow,
But my heart won't give up on you.
So remember I'll always be here,
When your yellow brick road turns blue.
Somewhere, far away, you think you'll find your dreams,
But sometimes that ole pot of gold,
Isn't always what it seems.
So if you ever find yourself lonely,
And things don't work out like you planned.
You'll know there's a place to come home to,
And that I will always understand.
I hope that you find what you're after.
I hope all of your dreams come true...
Just remember, I'll always be here,
When your yellow brick road turns blue.
Just remember, I'll always be here,
