With a wide range of talents, Emmy Award winner and Grammy Award nominee David Cross has emerged as a hilarious performer on stage and screens both big and small.

In film, Cross most recently starred as Cain, opposite Paul Rudd’s Abel, in Harold Ramis' "Year One", which was released by Sony. He will next reprise his role as Tobias Fünke in the silver screen adaptation of the Emmy Award winning Fox hit "Arrested Development," a role he is perhaps most recognized for. Other film credits include "Men in Black" (both 1 & 2), "Waiting For Guffman," Ghost World," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "School for Scoundrels," "Curious George," I'm Not There," and "Alvin & The Chipmunks."

This Fall, Cross will embark on a North American comedy tour in support of his first book, “I Drink for a Reason,” which will be released by Grand central Publishing on August 31st.

On Television, Cross most recently wrote, produced and starred in the Comedy Central animated series "Freak Show," which was co-created by Cross and Jon Benjamin. He also recently shot “Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret,” a pilot for Channel 4 in London, which he created, wrote, and stars in. 

Cross honed his comedy writing chops as one of the writers on “The Ben Stiller Show,” for which he and the writing team share a posthumous Emmy (it was given after the show was canceled). Other Emmy nominations soon followed when Cross created (along with Bob Odenkirk) the groundbreaking HBO show, "Mr. Show with Bob & David." The show ran on the cable network for four years. Additionally, Cross has released two comedy CD's on the Subpop label, "Shut Up You Fucking Baby," which received a Grammy nomination, and "It's Not Funny." Both CD’s garnered rave reviews and continue to sell exceptionally well.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Cross currently resides in New York.
