Producer, Writer, Actor

Lemme’s theatrical feature debut was as a writer/actor of Broken Lizard’s first movie in the franchise, Super Troopers (2001), directed, co-edited, and starring Jay Chandrasekhar, written by the Broken Lizard company, and which grossed a terrific $23 million for Fox Searchlight Pictures.

Lemme co-starred in Broken Lizard’s not-as-successful second movie, Club Dread (2004), directed and co-starring Jay Chandrasekhar, with Kevin Heffernan and Bill Paxton, produced (in part) by Broken Lizard Industries, but lost money for distributor Fox Searchlight Pictures with a $7.6 million gross (based on estimated costs). Lemme reunited with his Broken Lizard member and director Chandrasekhar and member Heffernan for The Dukes of Hazzard (2005), the third in the series based on the TV series, co-starring Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson, Burt Reynolds, Joe Don Baker, Lynda Carter and Willie Nelson, produced (in part) by Broken Lizard and Village Roadshow Pictures and grossing nearly $110 million for Warner Bros. Pictures.

Steve Lemme’s next Broken Lizard movie with director/lead Jay Chandrasekhar and fellow Lizard player Kevin Heffernan was Beerfest (2006), with non-Lizard cast mates Will Forte, Ralf Moller, Mo’Nique, Eric Christian Olsen, Jurgen Prochnow and Cloris Leachman, and grossing a poor $20.4 million (based on estimated costs) for Warner Bros. Pictures. Lemme continued with his fellow Lizards in Heffernan’s feature directorial debut, The Slammin’ Salmon (2009), starring Michael Clarke Duncan, Chandrasekhar, Heffernan, Paul Soter and Olivia Munn, launching at the Slamdance Film Festival before a limited release by Anchor Bay Films.

Lemme was a co-executive producer of reunited with director/producer Jay Chandrasekhar and co-star Olivia Munn for the comedy, The Babymakers (2012), co-starring Paul Schneider, Kevin Heffernan, Wood Harris and Nat Faxon, produced (in part) by Blumhouse Productions and released in limited pattern by Millennium Entertainment. Lemme, after six years away from feature movies, returned to features with his Broken Lizard buddies (including director/co-star Jay Chandrasekhar, as well as Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske) for the sequel, Super Troopers 2 (2018), with Rob Lowe and Brian Cox, produced (in part) by Broken Lizard Industries and earning a healthy $32 million box office for Fox Searchlight Pictures (based on estimated costs).

Lemme’s next major feature project was the Broken Lizard sequel, Super Troopers 3 (2026), directed and co-starring Jay Chandrasekhar along with his regular Broken Lizard mates, as well as cast members Brian Cox and Chace Crawford, produced (in part) by Broken Lizard Industries, and released wide by Searchlight Pictures.
