Few comic careers span as much ground as Michael McKean's. Born in New York City in 1947, he became famous as Lenny in the sitcom 'Laverne & Shirley' (1976-1983), then co-created and played David St. Hubbins, the blissfully dim frontman of 'This Is Spinal Tap' (1984). A pillar of Christopher Guest's improvised comedies — 'Best in Show' (2000), 'A Mighty Wind' (2003) — and a former 'Saturday Night Live' cast member, he stunned late in his career as Chuck McGill, the brilliant, tormented brother of 'Better Call Saul' (2015-2018). Comedy and pathos, fused seamlessly.
