Kevin Patrick Smith is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, comic book writer, author, YouTuber, and podcaster. He came to prominence with the low-budget comedy buddy film Clerks (1994), which he wrote, directed, co-produced, and acted in as the character Silent Bob of stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. Clerks won the "Award of the Youth" and the "Mercedes-Benz Award" at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, the "Filmmakers Trophy" at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards (Best First Feature, Best First Screenplay and Jeff Anderson for Best Debut Performance).
The film Jay and Silent Bob also appeared in Smith's later films Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which are set primarily in his home state of New Jersey. While not strictly sequential, the films have crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon known as the "View Askewniverse", named after Smith's production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier.
Since 2011, Smith has mostly made horror films, including Red State (2011) and the "comedy horror films" Tusk (2014) and Yoga Hosers (2016), two in a planned series of three such films set in Canada dubbed the True North trilogy.
Last year, Smith executive produced Masters of the Universe: Revelation for Netflix and coming later this year, Smith will release the much anticipated Clerks III via Lionsgate.
Smith owns Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, New Jersey, a comic bookstore which became the setting for the reality television show Comic Book Men (2012-2018). As a podcaster, Smith co-hosts several shows on his SModcast Podcast Network, including SModcast, Fatman Beyond, and the live show Hollywood Babble-On. He is known for /participating in long, humorous Q&A sessions that are often filmed for DVD release, beginning with An Evening with Kevin Smith.

Thank you to the Rialto for having Kevin Smith. Kevin Smith was amazing as always, we are so happy we were able to see him. Next time he’s in town, we are there.
Kevin is always wonderful. The only problem I ever have when I go see him at events like this is I want stay longer, or just sit and chat with him. Even for the casual fan, I highly recommend a live showing with Q&A. Kevin is warm, witty, and always entertaining
A great experience. The Q and A was great. I laughed and think I cried a little
Kevin was amazing! The film was amazing and his q&a was funny and heartfelt. Can’t recommend this event enough!
Really enjoyed the movie. Listening to Kevin interact with the audience. Was a lot of fun.
Couldn't have had a better experience. Movie was brilliant, he went 45+ minutes over in the Q&A and it was gold all the way through, and in the meet and greet he was just the most lovely person. 11/10.
Didn't get a chance to attend the Q&A, but Kevin Smith always puts on a wonderful show!
The movie was great, but getting to see it with Kevin Smith, who I have long been a fan of, made for a truly special evening. He introduced the movie and then stayed after the movie to answer questions from the audience. He is exactly the person you expect, and the exception to the “don’t meet your heroes” rule.
The show was great, the venue is cool, but they had the seats way too close together in the pit & humans in America are pretty large, so it was VERY uncomfortable for a few hours, and a room full of sweaty bodies….
