Biography
Kevin Smith is an American filmmaker and actor born August 2, 1970. He wrote, directed, co-produced, co-edited, and acted in Clerks (1994), the low-budget comedy that launched his career and introduced the stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob.

Smith co-founded View Askew Productions with Scott Mosier to oversee this universe. Beyond the Askewniverse, he wrote and directed Jersey Girl (2004), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008), Cop Out (2010), Red State (2011), and Tusk (2014).

He owns Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, a comic book store in Red Bank, New Jersey, which became the setting for the reality show Comic Book Men (2012–2018).
