Frederick Alan “Rick” Moranis (born April 18, 1953) is a Canadian actor, comedian and musician best known for his comedy work on SCTV and appeared in several Hollywood films including Ghostbusters; Little Shop of Horrors; Honey, I Shrunk the Kids; Spaceballs; Parenthood; and My Blue Heaven. He is known in the movie business as “Slick Rick,” due to his ability to play the lovable dork to perfection in every movie.

In 2005, Moranis released an album entitled The Agoraphobic Cowboy, featuring country songs with lyrics which Moranis says follow in the comic tradition of songwriters/singers such as Roger Miller and Jim Stafford. The album was produced by Tony Scherr, and is distributed through ArtistShare, as well as Moranis’ official Web site. In the Sound & Vision interview done before he decided to release the album, he commented on the origins of some of the songs:

“ About a year ago (in 2003), out of the blue, I just wrote a bunch of songs. For lack of a better explanation, they’re more country than anything. And I actually demoed four or five of them, and I’m not sure at this point what I’m going to do with them—whether I’m going to fold them into a full-length video or a movie. But, boy, I had a good time doing that. ”

On December 8, 2005, The Agoraphobic Cowboy was announced as a nominee for the 2006 Grammy for Best Comedy Album.
