GREGS BIO

Gregory Proops is an American comedian, improviser and actor, who has been a regular cast member on Channel 4's popular long-running improvised comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? almost since it's inception. An established stand-up comic both in the UK and the States, Greg's sold-out one-man show was nominated for the prestigious Perrier Award at the 1993 Edinburgh Festival. He followed this up with further sell-out seasons at Edinburgh in 1994 through to 1997, and indeed in 1996 he not only performed his stand-up show but also hosted his own chat show. On his trips to London, he is frequently invited to guest with the Comedy Store players. He has also performed at the Kilkenny Comedy Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Greg was born on October 3, 1959 in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1962, his family moved to Lancaster, California, and in 1966, to San Carlos. He studied acting in San Francisco State, and formed the partnership of Proops and Brakeman, a stand up duo with his good friend in 1982. He then joined an improv group (Faultline) with future "Whose Line is it Anyway?" contestant, Mike McShane. Greg has been married to an artist named Jennifer for 12 years now and claims he is unworthy of having her. They don't have any children. Greg has appeared on, and even hosted, several TV shows. He has also been in such movies as "Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace," and "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Greg has made notable guest appearances on shows like "3rd Rock from the Sun," "Talk Soup," and "Win Ben Stein's Money." What does he want to do entertainment-wise in the future? "I'd like to play a bad guy in a cool movie."

Proops and Brakeman may have broken up by 1982, but when Greg joined Faultline in 1979, P&B were well established. In fact, those two would do the College Circuit in the Bay Area during the Faultline Run, even when they had a regular gig at the Savoy Tivoli in San Francisco during 1980-81. Greg performed with Shakespeare in the Park in 1985 and 1986. After Faultline dissolved in 1986, he got an acting gig with Michael McShane with a group called Art on the Water. They did a two-man show about a pair of billboard painters. It was just after this time that Greg linked up with the British WLiiA? while performing overseas.
