Nick Offerman was born to Cathy and Ric Offerman, has three siblings (two sisters and a brother), and is married to Megan Mullally.


Born June 26th, 1970, Nicholas David Offerman is an American actor who is best known for his role as Ron Swanson in NBC’s Parks and Recreation. He earned critical acclaim for that role and also received the Television Critics Association Award and was twice nominated for a Critics' Choice Television Award. Offerman made his debut as an actor in 1994 but didn’t earn his first role until 1997, starring in the feature film Going All the Way and on the television series ER. That kicked things off for the American actor as he steadily earned role after role with parts in Profiler, The West Wing, Will and Grace, The Practice, and 24 before earning back-to-back recurring roles on NYPD Blue and George Lopez.


Alongside that, Offerman also starred in several films including Forever Lulu, November, Cursed, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, Sin City, and more. However, it was his role on Parks and Recreation where he portrayed Ron Swanson from 2009 to 2020 that changed his career. That sparked a light for Offerman as he earned a slew of film roles including All Good Things, 21 Jump Street, We’re the Millers, Paradise, Taking Chances, and more.
