Born: February 9, 1976
Charles Peckham Day was born in New York City, NY, and raised in Middletown, Rhode Island. His parents are both music teachers: his mother, Mary Peckham, is a piano teacher, and his father, Dr. Thomas Charles Day, was a professor of music at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. Charlie plays both piano and guitar. He has Italian (from his paternal grandfather), Irish, and English ancestry.
He attended Merrimack College in Massachusetts, majoring in art history. After graduating, he began acting at the Williamstown Theatre Festival and in small television roles. He supplemented his income by waiting tables and answering phones for a telethon selling a Motown anthology. He got his first agent after performing a funny blues song he’d written at a cabaret night.
His big break came in 2005, after he pitched a home video he shot with his friends Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton. This eventually became the hit series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005). As well as starring in the show, Charlie is also an executive producer and one of the writers. His breakthrough film role was in Horrible Bosses (2011).
Charlie Day’s 5 most popular quotes

- I always was a funny guy, the class clown. I had a very funny dad and an extremely funny grandmother.
- Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.
- Both of my parents are actually music teachers. I think I got to a certain age where I decided I’d rather be a baseball player than a musician. Now, like most kids, I regret it.
- Everyone feels like an underdog, at some point in their life. Even the best-looking people and the most athletic probably have a phase in their life – a year or two – where they’re awkward or they have braces.
