		Simon: He wasn't an actor, but having met him in this restaurant where a friend of mine was working, it just struck me that it was wrong that he wasn't being shown to the world.
		Edgar wanted Simon to laugh quite naturally, so every now and again on the set, he whispers something to you and you have to follow his orders and it was do something different every time.
		Simon: If the audience thought for a second, "Oh my god, she looks really angry." It's not as funny as the fact that they just think she's a drunk girl, so we changed it to drunk just in case.

		Simon Pegg : Tim's beard is a very important aspect of Tim as much as Mike's moustache is of him and Brian's lower beard is of him.
		Simon Pegg : Yes - we always wanted to make it a show that was verbal and visual in equal parts and Edgar Wright the director was someone we knew who could do that.
		Simon Pegg : The thing about Colin is that he does all his own stunts but in real life she is female and her name is Ada.

	Simon Pegg Interview
		Pegg established himself as a star of the small screen with Spaced, the cult C4 sitcom whose fans must have been up in arms that it did not make the Top Ten in the BBC's recent comedy poll.
		Pegg admits his fascination with them borders on obsession.
		Pegg has been bitten by the film-making bug although admits he was unprepared for how difficult it all would be ("it was like going from Junior School to University"), and while he's not ruling out a final series of Spaced, he seems certain that his future lies on the big screen.

		The star of the film is British actor Simon Pegg and he recently spoke to flfilm.com in regards to the film and the comedy aspects of it.
		PEGG: I think there's definitely a love story there, you know, I think there's a kind of inter-romance of sorts, because they are sort of inseparable, and I don't think it would probably ever physically manifest itself, you know, because they're too uptight.
		PEGG: In some respects, yeah, I mean I love 'Dawn of the Dead,' the original [George] Romero 'Dawn of the Dead.' I love the fact that he managed to create these monsters who at turns sympathetic, tragic, terrifying, and also wanting to shock all the time, you know, it's hilarious.

	Shaun of the Dead (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Shaun (Pegg) is your stereotypical sit-com loser: An ineffectual slob in a dead-end job, he is terminally afraid of commitment and spends all his time with his flat-mate Ed (Nick Frost, also from Spaced) who is an even bigger loser.
		Pegg has perfected this in his writing but he is also a surprisingly good actor.
		Pegg is also careful to ensure that his film can stand up on its own - there is barely a minute goes by without a very good joke and despite the light-heartedness, there are some satisfyingly scary moments and ample gore.

		Simon Pegg: I think that the joke and the ghost story have a similar setup in that it’s a similar kind of setup, but has the payoff of a laugh and the other a scare.

		Simon Pegg: I’ve been surprised by the amount of people here in the States that have seen the show, and have come up to me and told me they loved “Spaced.” This is a show that really hasn’t been seen here.

	Cinema Confidential News: 09/21/04 - INTERVIEW: Simon Pegg on "Shaun of the Dead"
		Director Edgar Wright and star Simon Pegg bring their wacky comic styles to their very successful zombie import, "Shaun of the Dead." A romance, horror, comedy, spoof all in one, the film takes us back to George Romero's classic zombie films and puts a new twist in the genre.
		Actor Simon Pegg plays the lead role of Shaun, a washed out appliance salesman who finds his world around him crumbling apart: his girlfriend wants to dump him, his friends are crazy, he hates his stepdad, and he absolutely hates his job.
		SIMON: I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare.

	CHUD.com - Cinematic Happenings Under Development
		Pegg: Yeah, but in a way one of the jokes of Spaced — maybe THE joke of Spaced — is that it was a television program and it was shot like a movie and it had movie references in it, but it was a very big thing happening in a very small world.
		Pegg: It had to be rewritten because it wasn’t good enough and Edgar, the director, looked at the script and said, “You can do better than this.” So Jessica and I wrote episode 5, which turned out to be the best episode of both series, I think.
		Pegg: But when you went in it was like glaciers and a massive world inside this park, and he was the gamekeeper.

		Pegg will once again be acting, but center stage will be former Bond Timothy Dalton and "Moulin Rouge" and "Gangs of New York" actor Jim Broadbent.

	BBC - collective - games #047: simon pegg on gaming
		In Spaced, Simon Pegg's character, Tim, was a gamer, in one memorable episode slipping into a Resident Evil 2 fantasy after a night on the speed.
		What's questionable for a gamer watching the film — which is essentially a satire of modern urban life — is that it seems to be including gaming in its checklist of parallels between us and the living dead (commuting, dead-end jobs, apathy in relationships, etc).
		Co-writer Pegg, himself a gamer (he'd been playing Jedi Outcast prior to our interview), dispelled these concerns: “The videogame thing was never really about saying people who play videogames are zombies — even though you can become one if you get into a particularly good adventure game and end up sitting there for 12 hours.
