'Gary Valentine' (born
November 22,
1963) is an American actor and
comedian who found modest success in comedy clubs and on television.
Valentine was born 'Gary Joseph Knipfing' in
New York City to Janet B., who worked in a
chiropractor's office, and Joseph Valentine Knipfing, who owned an insurance company.
[1][2] He is the brother of actor
Kevin James.
He was featured in the movie ''
Comedian'', and appears as
Doug Heffernan's (Kevin James) cousin
Danny on the television show ''
The King of Queens'' (Valentine is Kevin James' older brother in real life; they have a sister, Leslie Knipfing.) Valentine appeared as Wes in the film ''
Stuck on You'' starring
Matt Damon and
Greg Kinnear. His most recent film appearance is in ''
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry'', which starred Kevin James and
Adam Sandler. He has also starred in his own half hour special on the TV show ''
Comedy Central Presents''. Gary does numerous comedy tours to clubs across the country. He requested to be taken to "The Garden" after his show to see the Sunday Amateur Comedy Night. I told him that you better make sure that they know "The King of Queens" is just a television show, much to his bemusement.
