About this person
Dax Randall Shepard was born January 2, 1975, and spent the 2000s working steadily in studio comedies - Without a Paddle in 2004, Zathura: A Space Adventure and Employee of the Month bracketing Idiocracy and Let's Go to Prison in 2006. From 2010 to 2015 he played Crosby Braverman on NBC's Parenthood, a role that let him stretch past punchlines into something more dimensional. He wrote and directed Hit and Run in 2012 and CHiPs in 2017, taking the wheel on projects that didn't quite break through. In 2018 he launched Armchair Expert, a long-form interview podcast that found an audience hungry for unpolished honesty, and the show became his most durable success. He co-founded the baby product company Hello Bello with his wife Kristen Bell, parlaying visibility into a business that trades on their joint brand of accessible celebrity.
