BIOGRAPHY

Irreverent comedian and social commentator David Cross has maintained a relatively low celebrity profile while at the same time working, endearing himself to legions of fans. His smart and fearless comedy style is marked by a simultaneous honesty and cynicism that kind of goes beyond satire to somewhere else. Characterized by his small frame, bald head, and black glasses, his major career accomplishment has been as one-half of the HBO series “Mr. Show with Bob and David.” However, his memorable bit parts  – such as Donnie, the guy who repeatedly says “Chicken Pot Pie” on NBC’s “Just Shoot Me” – tend to stick in the imagination of the larger public. He met Bob Odenkirk while working as a writer for “The Ben Stiller Show” on HBO, and the two joined forces to create “Mr. Show” in 1995. The show was nominated for several Emmys. Cross made several notable TV guest appearances on “The Drew Carey Show” and “News Radio,” as well as movies like “Men in Black,” “The Cable Guy,” “Ghost World,” and “Waiting for Guffman.” In 2002, Cross released a two-disc comedy album, “Shut Up You Fucking Baby!” consisting of highly-charged political rants and other material recorded live in concert. Cross, of course, had a memorable part on the comedy series “Arrested Development,” and would later return to the small screen, writing and starring in “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.” Recent credits include Pitch Perfect 2 and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. David Cross is someone to see.
