About Me

I am an actor, writer, comic, and gentleman of Leisure. I have been in the life for YEARS!!! Most people know me from the Fox series "In Living Color". I've done a bunch of films. To name a few... Boomerang, Jumanji, Soldiers Story, Streamers, more recently The Woodsman, and Badasss. I started in the theatre...Just like Captain Kangaroo! I received my BA from The University of Michigan, and my MFA from to the Yale School of Drama. I was nominated for a Tony award for the Broadway musical "The First", and received the "Golden Lion" award for best actor at the Venice Film festival for the film "Streamers" directed by Robert Altman. I love doing live appearances around the country. I get to meet my audience up front and personal, and we kick live! I am currently working on a new show for Comedy Central called " The Chocolate News". Das Dat!
