Greg Proops is an American actor and
stand-up comedian and enjoys immense popularity overseas
as a comic and improviser.
A native of San Francisco, Proops studied improvisation
and acting at San Francisco State University. After
graduation, he joined an improv group with Mike McShane,
which proved to be his ticket to stardom. Both Proops
and McShane impressed producers Dan Patterson and Mark
Leveson, who put them on their show, Whose Line Is
It Anyway?.
Proops has performed his stand-up act across Europe,
and even in New Zealand. However, he remains best-known
for appearances on Whose Line?, including both the
U.S. and U.K. versions. He will reprise this role in
2004's Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, a show similar
to Whose Line.
In addition to his stand-up and improv acts, Proops
has done voice work in various films and TV shows,
including Star Wars: Episode I. He also hosts a bi-weekly
radio program, and a nightclub-atmosphere talk show.
He lists McShane and Colin Mochrie as among his best
friends. |
