He is also known for providing the voice of Buck in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), Ice Age: Collision Course (2016) and The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022). He currently stars as Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible film series (2006–present), and he voiced the Chamberlain in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (2019). Pegg is one of the few performers to have achieved what Radio Times calls the "Holy Grail of Nerd-dom", having played popular supporting characters in Doctor Who (2005), Star Trek as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (2009–2016), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). Pegg and Frost also wrote and starred in the sci-fi comedy film Paul (2011). He and Wright co-wrote the films Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013), known collectively as the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, all of which saw Wright directing and Pegg starring alongside Nick Frost.
He came to prominence in the UK as the co-creator of the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), directed by Edgar Wright. That song, more than anything else on the soundtrack, captures the feeling of the film.Simon John Pegg (né Beckingham born 14 February 1970) is an English actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer. But the finest new song is Pulp's 'Mile End,' with its jaunty, neo-dancehall melody and rhythms and Jarvis Cocker's evocative, haunting lyrics. Primal Scream's title track sees them returning to the dub/dance experiments of Screamadelica with grace, while Damon Albarn's first solo song, 'Closet Romantic,' is as good as any of Blur's waltzes. With the exception of the oldies, every song is rare or especially recorded for the soundtrack, and nearly every one is superb. Every song, whether it's Pulp's deceptively bouncy 'Mile End' or Brian Eno's lush 'Deep Blue Day,' is quite melancholy, creating an effectively bleak, but oddly romantic, atmosphere for the entire record. The entire soundtrack holds together surprisingly well, as the techno tracks balance with the pop singles. Appropriately, an all-star collection of British pop and techno stars - everyone from Blur, Pulp, and Elastica to Leftfield, Primal Scream, and Underworld - contributed to the soundtrack, which also features a couple of oldies by veteran punk godfathers like Lou Reed ('Perfect Day') and Iggy Pop ('Lust for Life,' 'Nightclubbing').
The novel, written by Irvine Welsh, became one of the most popular books in the British indie scene in the early '90s and was adapted to film in 1996 by the makers of Shallow Grave. Trainspotting concerns the adventures of a group of young, nearly criminal, drug-addicted Scottish friends.
