David Scott Foley is a Canadian actor, most
notable as one of the Kids in the Hall. 


== Early life ==
Dave was born in Etobicoke, Ontario on January 4,
1963 to Mary and Michael Foley. He is the second
of three children. At the age of 17 he dropped out
of an "alternative" High School, and began taking
classes at Second City in Toronto. 

== Acting career ==
=== The Kids in the Hall ===

While in Toronto Dave met Kevin McDonald, a fellow
usher at a local art house movie theater. Together
Kevin and Dave formed the original Kids in the
Hall.

In October of 1989 Kids in the Hall debuted on TV,
with a cast of Dave, Kevin, Bruce McCulloch, Mark
McKinney, and Scott Thompson. Some of Dave's
famous characters include Hecubus, one of the
Sizler sisters, the A. T. & Love boss, Bruno Puntz
Jones, Mr. Heavyfoot, Jocelyn, and Lex. The show
ended in April 1994 and Dave moved on with his
career.

=== NewsRadio ===

Paul Simms, creator of NewsRadio, happened to be a
huge fan of Foley. The role of Dave Nelson was
created specifically for him, but because Dave had
accepted a job on another sitcom he turned it
down. Eventually he was fired from the other
sitcom and he took the role on NewsRadio, a show
about the staff at a news station in New York
City.

Much of his character on the show was based on
Foley's own personality. Most notably, his coffee
addiction (reportedly Foley has several pots a
day) and his love of the sitcom Green Acres.

=== Movie appearences ===
Dave has also had several roles in movies. The
best known was the voice of Flik in A Bugs Life.
As well, Dave did the voices for the Baldwin
Brothers in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
Other movies include Monkey Bone, Toy Story, and
his most recent Intern Academy. 

=== Celebrity Poker Showdown ===
In 2003, Dave became host of Celebrity Poker
Showdown on Bravo.

== Marriage and children ==
Dave married his now ex-wife, Tabitha Southey, on
December 31, 1991. They met at a bar when Dave was
20 and she was 17. According to Dave, the
relationship began right after being introduced
when they argued over whether the lead vocalist of
the group the Psychedelic Furs was a good singer.
Tabitha and Dave divorced in 1997 after 6 years of
marriage. Together they had two sons, Edmund "Ned"
Foley (born 1991) and Basil Patrick Southey (born
1995).

Dave remarried on August 1, 2002 to Crissy
Guerrero and they have a daughter named Alina
Chiara Foley (born April 16, 2003).
