MADtv Jerry Maguire Shaq's All Star Comedy Jam Ever since New York
native Aries Spears was 14 years old, he has been a force to be reckoned
with in the comedy scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma
and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical
acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy schedule. From being a
regular on Fox’s Mad TV, starring in feature films, appearing on a
number of national talk shows, and continually touring the country with
his stand-up, Aries’s talents are becoming recognized and appreciated
throughout the entertainment industry.
As a principal cast
member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh,
hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth
season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by
calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write
sketches. Some of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for
on the show include: Belma Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike
Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar Bill Montgomery,
Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield,
El Diablo Negro and more.
Aries also boasts a number of
uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown, Al
Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch
“Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in
and boosting Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night.
Aries
has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age
of 17, after being spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the
movie Home of Angels, which also starred Abe Vigoda and Sherman
Helmsley, but never saw a theatrical release. He then appeared in
Out-of-Sync, and portrayed Red Foxx in Warner Bros.’s Why Do Fools Fall
In Love. In addition, Aries starred alongside John Leguizamo in
TriStar’s The Pest and delivered his most notable performance to date as
Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit Jerry
Maguire.
Aries was born on April 3, 1975 in Chicago
but grew up in New York City. He remembers at the young age of six being
the funnyman of the household and impersonating family members at the
dinner table during holidays. By age 14, Aries was belting out his fresh
stylings in front of paying audiences at local clubs around his
hometown. Shortly thereafter, he appeared on Russell Simmons’s Def
Comedy Jam on HBO and Showtime at the Apollo. The word was out about the
prodigal superstar from then on, and in 1992, Aries moved to Los
Angeles. He quickly landed a recurring role on NBC’s A Different World,
and was signed to a huge development deal at one of the major television
studios. The following year, Aries found himself starring in the
short-lived CBS series South of Sunset with former Eagles guitarist
Glenn Frey. Although the series didn’t last long, it did not discourage
other networks from tapping Aries’s talents for their projects, as he
soon appeared in Crosstown Traffic and Brisco County, Jr. for Fox.
Ultimately, Aries’s fierce momentum landed him on Mad TV as a series
regular, where he thrived for eight seasons.
Aries continues to
spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects,
which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a
feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad
TV, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop
culture. Additionally, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows
including: Loveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul Train, and Late
Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear
and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show
Period, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during
his short time there.
Aries maintains a strong connection to
his African roots and is involved in many charitable events, including a
number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to
have been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way
intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of
action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it’s safe to say that Aries
Spears will be in demand for quite some time.
