Full Andy Dick Biography
Dick was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He was adopted at birth by Sue and Allen Dick, a naval officer. He lived in CT and Pittsburgh, PA. He had a small dog named Moppet. In 1980 he attended Lassiter High School which was being temporarily housed at George Walton High School in Cobb County, Georgia.
Dick graduated from Joliet West High School (Joliet, Illinois) in 1984. He was in numerous theater productions during high school, and was elected homecoming king his senior year in the fall of 1983. Even in high school, Dick tended to use his name as a joke; one day, he dressed in a homemade superhero costume and presented himself at school as "Super Dick". He is good friends with actor Anthony Rapp, who has known him since childhood. He attended Columbia College Chicago and is registered as one of the school's "distinguished alumni".
In 2001, Dick created a show on MTV called The Andy Dick Show; the series ended in 2003 after three seasons. He also starred in a satirical reality television show on the same channel called The Assistant in 2004. The show spoofed themes and scenes from The Apprentice, The Bachelor, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Survivor, among others. Dick is the lead singer of his band Andy Dick and the Bitches of the Century. They have appeared together on television, and released a self-titled album in 2002. In earlier live shows, Dick had Rodleen Getsic perform as his opening act. Each night she would play the song she wrote for him called "Fucker".
Dick also appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager as the Mark II Emergency Medical Hologram in "Message in a Bottle". Dick provides the voice of Maurice from the radio station WCTR's segment "Gardening with Maurice" in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In 2005, Dick was featured in the documentary The Aristocrats (film), and provided the voice of Aunt Beth in the 2006 video game Marc EckÅ's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Dick competed in the eighth season of Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. He finished in last place, behind Robin Tunney, Christopher Meloni, Macy Gray, and Joy Behar.
Recently, Dick wrote and directed his first feature film, Danny Roane: First Time Director. He portrayed "Owen Kronsky" on the ABC sitcom Less Than Perfect, until its cancellation on June 6, 2006. He also starred in Jessica Simpson's music video for her song "A Public Affair".
In 2004, while dining at Swingers Diner in Los Angeles, Dick became a producer of The 1 Second Film by donating $111.11 to the non-profit collaborative film project. Later that year at the Toronto Film Festival comedian Tom Green became a producer by donating $120, effectively outbidding Dick, which sparked an ongoing bidding war in which Green and Dick battle for top billing in the film's credits, in which anyone can be listed for a minimum donation of 1 dollar, and both will be prominently featured in The 1 Second Film's feature-length making-of documentary which will accompany the 90 minutes of producer credits.
He provided the voice of Boingo Bunny for the 2006 animated movie Hoodwinked! As of October 2006, Dick has hosted his own radio program, The Shit Show, on Howard Stern's Sirius channel Howard 101 every Thursday night at midnight eastern. On May 16, 2007, Dick was roasted on The Howard Stern Show by Artie Lange, Lisa Lampanelli, Reverend Bob Levy, Sal Governale, Shuli, Colin Quinn, Benjy Bronk, Dave Atell, Greg Fitzsimmons, and Yucko the Clown.
He is a supporter of animals rights and PETA. He and his band, Bitches of the Century, have played for the PETA Animal Emergency Fund.
On December 2, 2006, he angered an audience at the Improv Club in Los Angeles by shouting "You're all a bunch of niggers!" following an improvised set with comedian Ian Bagg. This was a direct reference to Michael Richards' use of the same epithet to insult hecklers two weeks earlier. He later issued an apology through his publicist:"I chose to make a joke about a subject that is not funny, in an attempt to make light of a serious subject, I have offended a lot of people, and I am sorry for my insensitivity. I wish to apologize to Ian, to the club and its patrons and to anyone who was hurt or offended by my remark."
In August 2007, Dick was cited by Columbus, Ohio police for urinating on a sidewalk and a building. During his weekend in Columbus he was reported to be intoxicated during his stand up performances and groped patrons at a comedy club. Upon his return to Los Angeles, LA County deputies were called to his residence to respond to a complaint that Dick was throwing beer bottles into his neighbor's yard. On August 29, 2007 Dick slapped a reporter in the face outside a Los Angeles nightclub.
In 2006, Dick made a widely-publicized appearance at the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner; he licked the faces of Farrah Fawcett, Carrie Fisher, and Patton Oswalt, and groped and bit the hand of New York Post reporter Mandy Stadtmiller backstage. Dick, who holds that Stadtmiller "slanted" the incident, returned to rehab after the roast. |
