CHRIS ROCK (Richard Cooper)

Lauded by awards and critics alike, Chris Rock is one of our generation's strongest comedic voices. The Brooklyn-raised comedian has garnered three Emmy Awards, three Grammy® Awards, including a win this past year, has seen his former eponymous talk show become one of HBO's
highest-rated and most talked-about programs, and is co-creator and narrator of the acclaimed hit
television series "Everybody Hates Chris," now on the newly-formed CW network.

Rock made his directorial debut with HEAD OF STATE, which opened number one at the box office. Rock starred as an unlikely Washington, D.C. alderman chosen to be a presidential nominee, while Bernie Mac portrayed Rock's older brother who becomes his running mate. Rock also recently starred in both THE LONGEST YARD with Adam Sandler, a remake of the 1974 classic, as well as in the box office hit MADAGASCAR, featuring the voices of Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Stiller, Andy Richter, Jada Pinkett Smit, and David Schwimmer.
Previously, Rock starred in the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced BAD COMPANY opposite Anthony Hopkins; the romantic comedy DOWN TO EARTH co-directed by Paul and Chris Weitz and co-written by Rock; and the dark comedy NURSE BETTY, directed by Neil LaBute, in which Rock co-starred with Morgan Freeman and Renée Zellweger.

Rock's feature film debut was in BEVERLY HILLS COP II with Eddie Murphy. He went on to write, create, star and produce the rap comedy CB4 in 1993, a satire of the world of hardcore rap, which opened #1 at the box office. Other film credits include BOOMERANG, with Eddie Murphy;
PANTHER, a drama spotlighting the lives of the 60's activist group The Black Panthers, directed by
Mario Van Peebles; NEW JACK CITY with Wesley Snipes (a film marking Rock's dramatic debut as
a desperate crack addict); and I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA! with Keenen Ivory Wayans. The summer of 1998 saw Chris Rock co-star in two $100-million-plus grossing films: LETHAL WEAPON 4 and DR. DOLITTLE. Rock starred in Kevin Smith's DOGMA, which also featured Ben Affleck, Salma Hayek and Matt Damon.

In September of 2005, "Everybody Hates Chris," the Rock-inspired sitcom about a black kid in a mostly white school in 1980s Brooklyn, debuted on UPN. Since then, it has been named one of Entertainment Weekly's "top new series," making it the most watched comedy in UPN's history.

Rock is the co-creator and narrator of the show. In 2006 the show earned an NAACP Image Award
for Outstanding Comedy Series, a Golden Globe® nomination for Best Television Series Musical or
Comedy, a Writers Guild Awards nomination for Best New Series and Television Critics Association
nominations for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy and Outstanding New Program of the Year.

Rock previously served as an executive producer of the hit sitcom "The Hughleys," which aired on
the UPN network. After gaining early success as a stand-up comedian, Rock joined the cast of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in 1989. In 1993, Rock taped his first HBO special "Chris Rock: Big Ass Jokes," which was honored with a Cable Ace Award. Rock served as the sole 1996 presidential campaign
correspondent for the acclaimed "Politically Incorrect," then on Comedy Central, and received an Emmy nomination for a shared writing credit in the category of Outstanding Writing for a Variety or Music Program for the show.

Rock's true emergence can be traced to his next HBO special, "Bring The Pain," which was honored with two Emmy Awards for Best Writing and Outstanding Special in 1997. "Bring the Pain"
was released as a home video as well as a Grammy Award-winning CD. Rock went on to host the acclaimed "Chris Rock Show," which began airing on HBO in 1997. Rock and his popular talk show were honored with several Emmy nominations for writing and host and received an Emmy Award for Best Writing in 1999.

His next HBO stand-up special, "Bigger & Blacker," taped on the stage of Harlem's fabled Apollo Theatre, earned three Emmy nominations for Rock, while the CD went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Spoken or Comedy Album. Rock's most recent HBO special, Never Scared, aired in April 2004, was nominated for two Emmys, its CD also earning the Grammy for Best Comedy Album.

In 2003, Rock embarked on his North American stand-up tour, entitled the "BLACK AMBITION TOUR" that ran in 64 cities with over 80 shows through March of 2004. Rock hosted the 77th Annual Academy Awards in 2005, as well as the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003. Rock's debut book, Rock This, spent time on both The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
