Peter John Farrelly (born December 17, 1956) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer and novelist. Along with his brotherBobby, theFarrelly brothers are mostly famous for directing and producing quirky comedy andromantic comedy films[1] such asDumb and Dumber;Shallow Hal;Me, Myself and Irene;There's Something About Mary; andthe 2007 remake ofThe Heartbreak Kid.

Early life and education

[edit]

Farrelly was born inPhoenixville, Pennsylvania, to Mariann (née Neary), a nurse practitioner, and Robert Leo Farrelly, a doctor.[3][4] His grandparents were Irish immigrants, and he also has Polish ancestry.[5][6] He was raised inCumberland, Rhode Island.[7] He graduated fromKent School in 1975 and fromProvidence College where he studied accounting.[8] In 1986 he earned a master's in fine arts from Columbia University.[9]

Career

[edit]

Writer

[edit]

Farrelly decided to pursue writing full-time, which prompted him to quit his sales job and relocate toCape Cod, Massachusetts, where he got a job as a waiter. On one of the tables he was waiting, Farrelly struck up a conversation with a writing professor fromUMass Amherst, who encouraged Farrelly to apply to graduate school. Farrelly said he did not think his chances were good, considering he did poorly in college but the professor said not everything is judged by grades. With what would later beOutside Providence, Farrelly submitted the work and was pleasantly surprised that he was accepted. He studied writing for a time at UMass Amherst, but was ultimately dissatisfied with the program, and transferred toColumbia University in New York City, which Farrelly said he found very satisfying. He later became interested in screenwriting, which led him to directing. He made this career decision after many of his screenplays sold but were not produced.

He is a published novelist, with works includingOutside Providence (1988)[10] andThe Comedy Writer (1998).[11]
