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
