Wayne Brady (born June 2, 1972) is an American comedian and television personality, best known for his role on ABC's television show, Whose Line Is It Anyway? The show featured such memorable castmates as Drew Carey, Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, and Colin Mochrie. In the show, he astounded viewers with his dead on impressions of various singers and the sense of humor he brought to the show. He has since gone on to form his own ABC variety show, which failed, and a daytime talkshow called The Wayne Brady Show, which won four Daytime Emmy Awards. These other series focused on Brady's own skills and likable personality.
In 2004, Brady joined the long-running Broadway revival of Chicago, playing the role of lawyer Billy Flynn.
Brady was born in Orlando, Florida. He began to perform the central Florida comedy circuit. He moved from Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada and then eventually on to Los Angeles, California in 1996, where he developed his acting skills. Brady is married to Mandie Taketa, and has one child.
