Jon Heder is the relatively unknown star of the new offbeat comedy Napoleon Dynamite. He got his acting start in a children's-theater production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. With his identical twin, Daniel, he attended Brigham Young University and studied 3-D animation. There, Heder met Napoleon writer and director Jared Hess. The movie tells the story of a social misfit named Napoleon Dynamite, who has trouble fitting in among his peers.
