Tom Shadyac is an American comedian, director, screenwriter, producer, author, and occasional film actor.
He is widely known for writing and directing the films Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, and I Am. He is well known as being a Christian and many of his films have Christian themes.
