David Cross Biography

Comedian writer and actor David Cross was born on April 4 1964 in Atlanta Georgia to Barry and Susie Cross. Though the family moved often Cross spent most of his childhood in the greater Atlanta area. Cross enrolled at Emerson College in Boston Massachusetts in 1983 but dropped out in 1985 to pursue a career in comedy.
In 1992 Cross moved to Los Angeles. Not long after he began appearing on the short-lived MTV skit comedy series The Ben Stiller Show (1992-1993) alongside a handful of burgeoning comedic actors including Janeane Garofalo Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk.
Cross and Odenkirk went on to create and star on the HBO cult hit comedy series Mr. Show (1995-1998) which featured Cross's wildly imaginative concentric and off-beat skits as well as elaborate musical numbers and recurring odd-ball characters. The show also featured the Actor's Gang alum Jack Black who was relatively unknown at the time with shorts chronicling Black and actor Kyle Gass's bizarre acoustic metal duets at open mic nights as the band Tenacious D -- spurring Tenacious D's unlikely rock stardom and in turn Black's movie career. Despite the show's devoted following the network never gave Mr. Show much promotional support and the series only lasted for four seasons.
