Ethan Suplee plays the dumb yet lovable character of Randy Hickey on NBC's My Name is Earl and recently starred in the film Mr. Woodcock. Suplee is well known for his role as Frankie "The Enforcer" in the kids television show Boy Meets World and made his film debut as William Black in Mallrats.

He began his acting career in school plays, and was encouraged by a family friend at the age of 16 to take an acting class where he met Jason Lee, the star on My Name is Earl.

1. "I have kids and I want to have a long life and there are certain things that are conducive to that and certain things that aren't. I've opted for the road of happiness and long life."
2. "I was in school for about a year and the acting teacher did not promote me, so I finally stopped going to the acting class."
3. "I don't need to be on the number one show. Number 25 is fine."
