2: Comic writer and actor CHRIS ELLIOTT. He was an emmy-award winning writer for "Late Night with David Letterman," where he originated such characters as "the panicky guy" and "the guy under the seats." ELLIOTT followed his success on the Letterman show with his own FOX TV-series, "Get A Life," about a young adult man who lives with his parents and has a paper route. It was a cult hit. ELLIOTT comes to the business naturally. His father is Bob Elliott, one half of the comedy duo "Bob & Ray." ELLIOTT has a new tongue-in-cheek book, "Daddy's Boy: A Son's Shocking Account of Life with a Famous Father," and he's starring in a new movie, "Cabin Boy."
