Jenny Slate made her feature film debut in Gillian Robespierre’s critically acclaimed OBVIOUS CHILD. Slate starred as “Donna,” a twenty-something comedienne whose unplanned pregnancy forces her to confront the realities of independent womanhood for the first time. The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and was released by A24 Films.
For her breakout performance in OBVIOUS CHILD, Slate won a Critics’ Choice Award for “Best Actress in a Comedy” and was honored with a 2015 Virtuoso Award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. She was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for “Best Female Lead Actor” and a Gotham Award for “Breakthrough Actor.” Additionally, THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE, TIME, VARIETY, and W MAGAZINE acknowledged Slate as one of the year’s best performances. Slate and OBVIOUS CHILD were recognized by the National Board of Review and various critics’ societies and film festivals including: Chicago Film Critics Association, St. Louis Film Critics Association, Phoenix Film Critics Society, Georgia Film Critics Association, Kansas City Film Critics Circle, Women Film Critics Circle, Sundance Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, and Newport Beach Film Festival.
Slate will next star in the following upcoming films: GIFTED opposite Chris Evans and Octavia Spencer, JOSHY opposite Thomas Middleditch, MY BLIND BROTHER opposite Adam Scott, AARDVARK opposite Jon Hamm and Zachary Quinto, and BRAIN ON FIRE opposite Chloe Grace Moretz. Slate’s voice can currently be heard as “Gidget” in THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS which made over $100 million opening weekend. She also recently voiced the character of “Bellwether” in Disney’s animated film ZOOTOPIA which made over $1 billion at the box office and was named the #4 biggest animated film worldwide. Next she will lend her voice to LEGO BATMAN with Will Arnett.
On television, Slate has appeared in Showtime’s HOUSE OF LIES opposite Don Cheadle, Comedy Central’s KROLL SHOW opposite Nick Kroll, and NBC’s PARKS AND RECREATION opposite Amy Poehler. She also lends her voice to FOX’s BOB’S BURGERS as the voice of “Tammy.” Her other television credits include: MARRIED, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, GIRLS, BORED TO DEATH, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, and HELLO LADIES.
Along with Dean Fleischer-Camp, Slate is the co-creator of the internet sensation MARCEL THE SHELL short films, which Slate also voices. The first video, MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON, has over 24 million views on YouTube and has been turned into a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling book, also written by Slate and Fleischer-Camp. They also wrote a second book titled MARCEL THE SHELL: THE MOST SURPRISED I’VE EVER BEEN.
