Mini-bio: New Zealand-born comic Jemaine Clement represents one-half of the "digi-folk parody" team Flight of the Conchords, opposite Bret McKenzie. From the early '90s onward, the multi-hyphenate Clement racke... read mored up credits as an actor, screenwriter, TV-show creator, and executive producer, with a strong genre emphasis on eccentric comedies. Clement began in 2002 by scripting and acting in the martial arts comedy Tongan Ninja -- the saga of the world's most powerful ninja, who must travel to the Patio of Death, fight an omnipotent enemy, and rescue the love of his life. Though McKenzie did not participate in that project, he and Clement teamed up in 2007 for the quirky HBO series Flight of the Conchords, a comedy woven around the theme of culture clash, following the pair's wacky adventures as a band trying to make it in New York City. Clement then could be seen solo again, with an acting role as Jarrod in Taika Waititi's deadpan absurdist comedy Eagle vs. Shark (2007). In 2009 he played an obnoxious author in the comedy Gentleman Broncos. He lent his vocal talents to the 2010 animated comedy Despicable Me, and worked again with Steve Carell in the American remake of Dinner with Schmucks. He returned to animated films with 2011's Rio and in 2012 he stepped into the third film in the successful Men in Black franchise. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Jemaine Clement mini-bio
:
Clement spent his formative years in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. Moving to New Zealand's capital, where he studied drama and film at Victoria University of Wellington, Clement met fellow student Taika Waititi (AKA Taika Cohen) with whom he went on to form the Humourbeasts.

In 2004 the Humourbeasts toured New Zealand in a stage show titled "The Untold Tales of Maui", rewriting the traditional Maori legends of Maui. The duo were the recipients of New Zealand's highest comedy honor the Billy T Award in 1999.

It was also at Victoria University that Clement met Bret McKenzie, and together they formed Flight of the Conchords. They have toured internationally and released a CD, Folk the World Tour in 2002. In 2005 Flight of the Conchords appeared on HBOs "One Night Stand". Clement played himself in a six-part improvisational comedy radio program on BBC2 and appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and The Late Late Show. They are now starring in their own 12-part HBO series "Flight of the Conchords".
