Pat Proft (born April 3, 1947) is an American comedy writer and actor.

Proft was born in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, the son of Marguerite and Bob Proft. [ [http://www.filmreference.com/film/98/Pat-Proft.html Pat Proft Biography (1947-) ] ] He began his career at Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis. In the mid-1970s, he began writing for television and films. Proft's screenplays usually rely heavily on slapstick action, wisecracks and non-sequitur-laced absurdist dialogue.

He has written numerous films, but has only directed one, "Wrongfully Accused", which starred Leslie Nielsen.
