Father – Wayne Brady
Wayne didn’t initially intend on pursuing comedy or acting, having set his mind on a military path since his youth. During high school, his plans shifted as he started to gain a lot of attention and positive reviews thanks to his performance in a school play. This would lead him to pursue another path, and he became heavily involved in his theatre community in Florida.
Over the next few years, he would work on several stage productions including “I’m Not Rappaport”, “A Chorus Line”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, and “A Raisin in the Sun”, a Broadway play inspired by the poem entitled “Harlem” written by Langston Hughes.
The play tells the story of a black family in Chicago which is financially troubled and attempts to rise above their situation using the insurance they gained from the death of their father. In 1996, he moved to Los Angeles to look for more opportunities, leading to minor or guest roles in shows such as “In the Heat of the Night”, and “I’ll Fly Away”.
Wayne Brady’s Success
Wayne found his breakthrough when he became a part of the television show called “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, which showcased his talent for both comedy and improvisation.
The show is a US adaptation of the original series of the same name aired in the UK, and he‘s a regular performer alongside Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles. The performers play a series of improvisational games and are awarded points which actually have no merit, but the performances provide entertainment for both the live and television audience.
Following the success of the program, he then became the host of “The Wayne Brady Show”, which aired for two years before its cancellation.
He became a household name once more when he was cast as the host of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics!”, and he also hosted the revival of “Let’s Make a Deal”, which began airing once more in 2009.
Aside from his television work, he continues to perform on stage, playing the drag queen Lola in the Broadway show “Kinky Boots”. He was also a recurring character in the TV series “How I Met Your Mother”, playing the brother of Neil Patrick Harris’ character Barney Stinson.
During his career, he’s won five Emmy Awards.
