How Did One Of The Hottest Names In Comedy Go From The Marines To Hollywood?

Share

Actor and comedian Rob Riggle is one of the funniest men on film and television. He’s in everything these days; from 22 Jump Street to Dumb and Dumber To, and even has a regular appearance on Fox NFL Sunday. Many know Riggle from his early days on Saturday Night Live or as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart, but Riggle’s career actually began somewhere far less conventional.

A piece on Fast Company details how Riggle developed from a young Marine officer into one of the funniest names in the game. He served in the Marines for 23 years, and just recently retired.
