Biography

Early life

Suplee was born in Manhattan, the son of Debbie and Bill Suplee (the latter of whom would go on to play "Willie," the one-eyed mailman, in "My Name Is Earl"). His parents were actors who met while performing summer stock and appeared on Broadway; his mother also worked as a drama teacher. [ [http://movies.ign.com/articles/701/701921p1.html IGN: Interview: Ethan Suplee ] ] Suplee's family moved to Los Angeles, California, when he was one year old.

Career

Suplee began acting in school plays. At 16, after high school, he was encouraged by friend Giovanni Ribisi to take an acting class. (It was also through Ribisi that Suplee first met his friend and future "Earl" castmate, Jason Lee.) Ethan dropped out of the acting class at 17, however he felt inspired to pursue acting as a career. He was originally best known as the kid from Sega's "Dead Squirrel" Game Gear commercials in the early 1990s.

The first major role Ethan landed was his comedic performance as Willam Black in "Mallrats", directed by Kevin Smith, alongside Jason Lee. Smith recast both Suplee and Lee in later films "Chasing Amy," and "Dogma". They both make cameos in "Clerks II". He went on to a guest starring role as Frankie "The Enforcer" Stechino in "Boy Meets World", from 1994-1998. Suplee's notable dramatic performances include the roles of the obese Nazi skinhead Seth in "American History X", a Goth in "The Butterfly Effect", football player Louie Lastik in "Remember the Titans", Johnny Depp's buddy and initial drug-dealing partner Tuna in "Blow", and the simpleminded Pangle in "Cold Mountain". Suplee also had an uncredited cameo in the HBO TV series "Entourage" as the scene-mate of movie star Vincent Chase in the fictional movie Queen's Boulevard.
