Full David Alan Grier Biography
David Alan Grier (born June 30, 1955) is an American actor and comedian known for his work on the sketch comedy television show In Living Color.
Grier was born in Detroit, Michigan, son of Aretas Ruth (née Dudley) and William Henry Grier, a writer who co-authored the book Black Rage. He graduated from Detroit's premier high school, Cass Tech and received a BA from the University of Michigan, and an MFA from the Yale School of Drama. Immediately after graduating, he landed the role of Jackie Robinson in the short-lived Broadway musical The First, directed by Martin Charnin and written by Joel Siegel.
Grier is in talks to play the lead role in The Nation, a musical based on the rise of Louis Farrakhan. Grier reports, "It has always been a dream of mine to take the controversy filled life of Minister Farrakhan and incorporate song and intricate dance routines. I really feel this could be my career defining role".
Grier has made many guest appearances on the Adam Carolla Show (97.1 FreeFM), usually to plug his improv performances and have fun with the gang. One of his recurring bits is where he enacts a heavy-set black woman named Peanut who does a terrible job answering the phones at FreeFM. |
