Richard Ayoade (/ ˌ aɪ oʊ ˈ ɑː d i / EYE-oh-AH-dee; born 23 May 1977) is a British comedian, actor, writer and director. He played the role of socially awkward IT technician Maurice Moss in Channel 4 sitcom The IT Crowd (2006–2013), for which he won the 2014 BAFTA for Best Male Comedy Performance.
- Growing up in the quiet English town of Ipswich, he became obsessed with J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. "I started to dress like [lead character] Holden Caulfield," Ayoade recalled drolly last year.
- He's married to actress Lydia Fox, a member of the famous Fox acting dynasty. Lewis's Laurence Fox is his wife's brother, while Silent Witness star Emilia Fox and Cucumber actor Freddie Fox are her cousins.
- Though he won a BAFTA TV Award for playing socially challenged Moss in The IT Crowd opposite Chris O'Dowd and Katherine Parkinson, he doesn't really rate his performance in the cult sitcom, calling it a mere "turn."
- He studied Law at Cambridge University, where he became president of the famous Footlights theatrical club. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, and Dame Emma Thompson all honed their craft as Footlights members in the early '80s.
