BERNIE MAC (Gin Slagel) Bernie Mac is one of the most popular comedians in America today, having started in the small comedy clubs of Chicago and worked his way up to sold-out arena shows, popular television series and feature film roles.
On television, he is well known for his highly-rated family comedy “The Bernie Mac Show,” for which he has received two Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe nomination and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series. Mac’s recent film roles include playing Bosley in “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and the brother of a Presidential candidate opposite Chris Rock in “Head of State.” He also joined the ensemble cast of Steven Soderbergh’s hit remake of “Ocean’s Eleven.” Among his forthcoming roles are the animated feature “Lil Pimp,” “Mr. 3000” with Angela Bassett and Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s Twelve.”
As a founding member of the “Kings of Comedy” tour, Mac displayed his trademark rapid-fire and hard-hitting comic delivery. The success of the tour inspired Spike Lee’s 2000 concert film “The Original Kings of Comedy,” featuring Mac. Earlier, Mac made his television debut on the landmark HBO series “Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam.” This led to his feature film debut in the Damon Wayans feature “Mo’ Money.” He went on to star in the Eddie Murphy/Martin Lawrence comedy “Life,” “House Party 3,” “How To Be a Player” and “What’s The Worst That Could Happen?” Mac is also the author of the book I Ain’t Scared of You.
