He co-starred in 2007 with Will Ferrell in the well-received Blades of Glory (2007) where, as in many of his films, he plays an absurd, slapstick caricature-this time, one of two rival figure skaters who must team up in a pairs competition. Also in 2006, Heder was the voice of the character Skull in the animated film Monster House, and starred in the comedy School for Scoundrels, opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Jacinda Barrett. In 2006, he appeared in the comedy film The Sasquatch Gang and had a starring role with Rob Schneider and David Spade in producer Adam Sandler's The Benchwarmers (2006), a comedy about three men making up for lost chances by creating their own Little League baseball team. In 2005, Heder had a supporting role as a clerk in a new age bookstore in the romantic comedy Just Like Heaven. Heder and his film co-star Efren Ramirez then filmed a series of commercials to promote the 2015 Utah State Fair, and reprised their roles in a self-parody sketch, " Napoleon Bonamite", on the animated series Robot Chicken.
On October 8, 2005, he hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guest Ashlee Simpson. In June 2005, Heder received the MTV Movie Award for Best Musical Performance and Breakthrough Male Performance for the role. The comedy feature Napoleon Dynamite, filmed in Preston, Idaho, earned $44.5 million. While attending BYU, he befriended Jared Hess and starred in Hess' short film Peluca, which was later expanded into Napoleon Dynamite. When his acting career gained traction, he did not return to complete the work he had started on the short, though his name still appears in the credits. Ī 2002 alumnus of Brigham Young University, Heder worked on the short animated film Pet Shop. He is also an Eagle Scout, and served as a Scoutmaster in 2010. He attended Walker Middle School in Salem and graduated from South Salem High School in 1996, where he was a member of the swim team and drama club. When he was about two years old, he and his parents moved to Salem, Oregon. He is of Swedish descent, and is a nephew by marriage of former NFL player Vai Sikahema. He has an identical twin brother, Dan an older sister, Rachel an older brother, Doug and two younger brothers, Adam and Matt. Heder was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, the son of Helen (née Brammer) and physician James Heder.
