And I wrote things for the school's newspaper, and - like all teenagers - I dabbled in poetry.
Every day, if I could find someone to play with me. If I couldn't find someone to play with me, I would work on my player character.
He would be just as apprehensive as I was, before the first film came out. Really, really, really hoping - excited, obviously - but really, really hoping that they don't blow it.
I used to write things for friends. There was this girl I had a crush on, and she had a teacher she didn't like at school. I had a real crush on her, so almost every day I would write her a little short story where she would kill him in a different way.
They have the unedited, like, 18-minute Moria sequence - uncut 18-minute sequence at the center of it. I was blown away. It wasn't how I imagined it, and it was fine.
They thought it was warping their children's minds. Which it might have been, but it also took a lot of creativity to play it.
Colbert was an avid player of fantasy Role Playing Games (RPGs) as an adolescent.
Colbert sometimes comically refers to his surname as French, but his family is actually of Irish descent.
Before he starred in the "Colbert Report" he starred in the after-school special parody "Strangers with candy" along with friends Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris.
On April 29, 2006, Colbert hosted the 2006 White house Correspondents dinner and caused much controversy with his remarks. He satirically mocked the president, who was sitting a few feet away, and shocked members of the media with his candor. New York Times columnist Frank Rich later wrote that it was the "defining moment" of the US 2006 midterm elections.
Gay.com voters named Stephen Colbert as their Person of the Year for 2006.
In the comic book "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #15," Stephen Colbert is drawn into the comic in a cameo. In the comic, he even used his catchphrase, "And that's the word."
He’s married to a woman from his hometown, and they have three kids, the oldest of whom is 11.
His favorite comic was once Bill Cosby. He was also influenced by the comedian Don Novello, best known as Father Guido Sarducci—but what Colbert loved best was the ultrapatriotic correspondence Novello wrote to various corporations under the pseudonym Lazlo Toth, published as The Lazlo Letters, each one concluding with the sign-off “Stand by our President.”
When he was 10, his father and two of his older brothers were killed in a plane crash. Every night, he would listen to “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” before going to bed and it would make him cry.
"Truthiness," a word Stephen invented, was declared the Word of the Year 2005 by the American Dialect Society. In 2006, "Truthiness" was named Word of the Year by Merriam-Webster.
Stephen's show, The Colbert Report, averages over one million viewers each night.
Stephen has voiced several characters on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers."
Colbert began a career in comedy by joining the Second City improv group in Chicago.
Colbert was in the 2005 big screen adaptation of "Bewitched" as Stu Robinson.
Voices two of the characters for Cartoon Network's "Harvery Birdman" show.
Colbert is a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and recorded an entire biography of the character "Aragorn" when his portrayer Viggo Mortensen was on the Daily Show. Later, Mortensen sent colbert a platter of LOTR characters made out of chocolate.
Provided the voice of Ace for Saturday Night Live's "Ambiguosly Gay Duo" cartoons. Ace's counterpart, Gary, was voiced by fellow Daily Show correspondent Steve Carell.
Stephen is the youngest of eleven children.
In one episode, he claimed to be Ted Hitler, Adolf's grandson. This is ironic because they were both born on April 20.
