Great Scot

We all know and love (and slightly fear, even?) international rapscallion Craig Ferguson, he of Late Late Show, Drew Carey, and ex-punk-rock-alcoholic-hell-bent-on-U.S.-citizenship fame. But the Emmy-nominated Scotsman’s career is far more vast and eclectic than most realize. The same confessional, self-deprecating, oft-befuddled style that informs his chipper ’n’ cheeky nightly monologues has also served him well as a novelist, voice actor, screenwriter, and director (his 2003 dramedy I’ll Be There may have made the film-fest rounds, but it was the 2000 UK septuagenarian-stoner comedy Saving Grace that earned a Golden Globe nod and truly lit our fires).
