Kevin James (born Kevin George Knipfing, April 26, 1965, in Stony Brook, New York) is a comedian and actor.
A one-time student at Cortland University (where James played football for three years and was a major in sports management), he was a star in stand-up comedy before trying his hand in television.

A close friend of Ray Romano, the star of Everybody Loves Raymond, James was cast as the lead character on The King of Queens in 1998.
