Matt Lucas Movie & TV Roles Where You Know The Alice In Wonderland Star

Matt Lucas’ Alice In Wonderland role saw him play both Tweedledee and Tweedledum, but which other movies and TV shows has the British actor appeared in? Comedian Matt Lucas rose to fame in the mid-1990s via his collaborations with fellow British comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, playing several characters in sketch show The Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer and taking on the role of scorekeeper George Dawes in their comedy panel game Shooting Stars. He reunited with the duo in their 2004 surreal sitcom Catterick in which he played bad-tempered hotel manager Roy Oates.

Matt Lucas is also known for his frequent collaborations with David Walliams. The pair have co-created several comedy series, including Rock Profile (in which Lucas spoofed music legends like Elton John and Paul McCartney) and the airport-set mockumentary Come Fly With Me. However, Lucas and Walliams are best known as the minds behind sketch show Little Britain which saw Lucas play several characters that parodied British stereotypes. They later teamed with HBO to produce a spin-off titled Little Britain USA that featured a host of new characters riffing on American stereotypes.

Matt Lucas has had plenty of other TV roles outside of his work with Reeves, Mortimer and Walliams. He had a two-episode stint as the Duke of Villars in the David Tennant-fronted historical comedy-drama Casanova and played the title character in BBC comedy Pompidou, which he also co-created and co-wrote. To Doctor Who viewers, he’ll be best known for his recurring role as the humanoid alien Nardole but others might recognize him for playing Chancellor Dongalor in British-American comedy series Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. Lucas has also had small, one-off roles in American comedy shows like Community and Fresh Off The Boat. On the film side of things, before Matt Lucas took on his Alice In Wonderland characters, he had a minor role as Cousin Tom in comedy-horror Shaun Of The Dead.

Since then, he’s had parts in Bridesmaids and How To Talk To Girls At Parties alongside reprising his dual role as Alice In Wonderland characters Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Alice Through The Looking Glass. He also starred in the indie comedy Small Apartments and had a biographical role as British satirist Tony Hendra in the National Lampoon biopic A Futile And Stupid Gesture. Matt Lucas is quite the prolific voice actor too. He voiced Benny in Gnomeo & Juliet and was the voice behind canine character Charlie in The Queen’s Corgi. He’s had plenty of TV voice work too, like playing Merlin in the children’s animated series King Arthur’s Disasters.

More recently, Lucas was the voice behind Aleister Crowley in two episodes of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow. Currently, the Alice In Wonderland star is best known as the co-host of cookery competition show The Great British Bake Off. Next up, Matt Lucas will have roles in upcoming projects including British film This Is The Night Mail and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory prequel Wonka.
