Simon John Pegg (né Beckingham; 14 February 1970) is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. He came to prominence in the UK as the co-creator of the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), directed by Edgar Wright. He and Wright co-wrote the films Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and The World's End (2013), known collectively as the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, all of which saw Wright directing and Pegg starring alongside Nick Frost. Pegg and Frost also wrote and starred in the sci-fi comedy film Paul (2011). Pegg is one of the few performers to have achieved what Radio Times calls the "Holy Grail of Nerd-dom", having played popular supporting characters in Doctor Who (2005), Star Trek as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (2009–2016), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). He stars as Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible film series (2006–present). He provided the voice of Buck in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), Ice Age: Collision Course(2016), and The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022).

After dying in a freak treadmill accident, mild-mannered slacker Doug Bellamy wakes up in the afterlife—not in heaven or hell, but in the soul-sucking offices of Reaper Inc., the bureaucratic agency responsible for collecting and processing the dead. Mistaken for a new employee due to a clerical error, Doug is assigned a cubicle, a scythe, and a quota. With no training and even less motivation, he starts bending the rules—accidentally saving lives, skipping pickups, and causing widespread glitches between the living and the dead. As ghost sightings, near-death resurrections, and existential paperwork pile up, Doug teams up with Val, a sardonic veteran reaper, to fix the mess before he's audited out of existence. But the deeper they dig into Reaper Inc.’s soul-shuffling system, the more they uncover a cosmic conspiracy buried beneath centuries of red tape. Now, Doug must choose: restore order to the afterlife… or blow it all up and reboot death itself.
