Dave Foley (born January 4, 1963 in Etobicoke, Ontario) is a Canadian actor, best known for his work in The Kids in the Hall, NewsRadio, and as the voice of Flik in A Bug's Life.
Acting career
The Kids in the Hall
After dropping out of high school, Foley pursued standup comedy for about a year in Toronto then began taking improv classes, where he met Kevin McDonald, who got Foley a job with him as an usher at a local art house movie theatre. Together, they formed the original The Kids in the Hall.
In October of 1989, The Kids in the Hall debuted on TV, with a cast of Foley, McDonald, Bruce McCulloch, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson. Some of Foley's famous characters include Hecubus, one of the Sizzler 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. He did appear in The Kids in the Hall film Brain Candy, but is the only member of the group who is not credited as a writer.
NewsRadio
Paul Simms, creator of NewsRadio, happened to be a huge fan of Dave. The role of Dave Nelson was created specifically for him.
Much of his character on the show was based on Dave's own personality, including his coffee addiction (reportedly Dave has several pots a day), and his love of the sitcom Green Acres.
He was recently reunited with NewsRadio writer Joe Furey, when he recorded the special featurette Working with Joe Furey, an add-on to Furey's comedy Love and Support.
Movie appearances
Dave has also had several roles in movies. He co-wrote and starred in the comedy The Wrong Guy, where he played Nelson Hibbert, an office worker that when finding his boss murdered, mistakenly believes that he will be blamed for the crime and runs off as a fugitive. He did the voice of Flik in A Bug's Life, a role he reprised for brief cameos in Toy Story 2 and Cars, along with the voices for the Baldwin Brothers in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Foley's other movies include Monkeybone, Blast from the Past, and his most recent Sky High. He also played astronaut Alan Bean in the seventh episode of the television mini-series From the Earth to the Moon. He also played one of the office workers in My Boss's Daughter. In 1987 he danced with Anne Shirley in the TV Mini-Series Anne of Avonlea. In 2001 he played 'N Sync's Lance Bass's boss in the film On The Line. In 2007 he will appear in Uwe Boll's film adapation of the controversial PC game Postal.

According to Foley, 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.
