Ever since Chicago 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.
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, many of which became Mad TV's most memorable sketches. Other television performances include Def Comedy Jam and Showtime at the Appollo as well as roles on A Different World, Crosstown Traffic and Brisco County, Jr. Additionally, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including Loveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul Train, and Late FridayC-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 has also found great success in the world of feature films. He 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.
