Full Tracy Morgan Biography
Tracy Morgan (born November 10, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American actor perhaps best known as a member of the cast of Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2003. Morgan currently stars as Tracy Jordan in Emmy Award Winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock.
Tracy Morgan began his career on Martin, where he played Hustle Man. The character sold random items he had from the 'hood, always greeting with his trademark "What's happ'n, chief?" In the 2003 movie Head of State starring Chris Rock, he appears several times as a man watching television, often questioning why they aren't watching Martin.
Tracy was also a regular cast member on "Uptown Comedy Club", a sketch comedy show filmed in Harlem New York City and aired from 1992 to 1994 on various channels. It had a predominantly African-American cast, but there were a couple of white performers, notably Jim Breuer.
Tracy Morgan joined the cast of sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live in 1996, where he performed as a regular until 2003.
Morgan performed a variety of characters on the program, including Brian Fellows, Dominican Lou, Bishop Don "Mack" Donald (from Pimp Chat), Astronaut Jones, and Woodrow. Morgan is also credited with impressions of Aretha Franklin, Harry Belafonte, Maya Angelou, Samuel L. Jackson, Mike Tyson, Judge Greg Mathis, and Star Jones.
In 2003 he was on an episode of Punk'd in which his car was towed from the valet parking. Tracy can be heard as "Spoonie Luv" on the Comedy Central program Crank Yankers and as Woof in the MTV2 Animated Series Where My Dogs At?.
Tracy acted in commercials for ESPN NFL 2K, ESPN NBA 2K, and ESPN NHL 2K where he co-starred with Ben Wallace, Warren Sapp, and others.
On December 2, 2005, Morgan was arrested in Hollywood, California on impaired driving charges. He later pled no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge stemming from the incident. On November 28, 2006, Morgan was again arrested and charged with DWI, this time in Manhattan.
On May 11, 2007, a female disk jockey in Miami filed a misdemeanor battery complaint against Morgan, saying he groped her in a radio station studio. Morgan's shows for that night and the next night at the Improv Comedy Club in Coconut Grove were cancelled. As of May 11, police have not yet decided whether to file charges. According to reports from the scene, Morgan smelled of alcohol, a potential violation of his probation for a DUI charge. Morgan had already been scheduled to be fitted with a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM) ankle bracelet on May 25 in Los Angeles, to test his skin for alcohol vapors every 30 minutes for 90 days. As of September 19, Morgan has been ordered to wear the monitoring bracelet for another 80 days as a result of the comedian admitting that he had violated a prior agreement to abstain from alcohol. Repeat violations can result in a jail sentence.
On Saturday, February 10, 2007, after performing at the College of William and Mary, Morgan sat down for a drink at the Green Leafe Cafe. At the Leafe, Morgan entered into a scuffle with a fellow restaurant patron, Jonathan "Primetimezo" Ohring. Shouting escalated, and eventually reached a peak, when Morgan shouted "Do you know who I am? I'm Tracy Morgan, bitch!" Morgan then had to be escorted out of the establishment. |
