Tracy Morgan Biography

Currently starring on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan appears opposite Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as "Tracy Jordan," the unpredictable star of Lemon's (Fey) hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." This year Morgan received his first Emmy Nomination for this role, in the Supporting Actor category; he has in three past years also been nominated for a Supporting Actor NAACP Image Award. The "30 Rock" cast won in 2009 the Screen Actors Guild Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series."

This upcoming year will be another busy one for Morgan. First up is Kevin Smith's COP OUT. In the dark feature, he stars with Bruce Willis as two cops given the grim tasks of locating a stolen baseball card to pay for a wedding, rescuing a kidnapped woman, and combating gangsters whose main goals are laundering money and elevating the death count in Brooklyn. In April, Morgan will star in the comedy DEATH AT A FUNERAL for Screen Gems. The film, a remake of the 2007 British movie of the same name, also features Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, and Danny Glover. The independent romantic comedy feature NAILED (from David O. Russell) in which Morgan also appears (alongside Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal) will be released later in 2010. Last summer Morgan made his animation debut lending his voice for Jerry Bruckheimer's G-FORCE, a combination live-action/CG film. Morgan starred as "Blaster," one of the highly trained secret agent guinea pigs dispatched to save the world. The film opened number one in US box offices and was celebrated by audiences worldwide.

This year, Morgan headlined the famed "New York Comedy Festival" which featured acclaimed comedians including Bill Maher, Andy Samberg, and Patton Oswalt, among others. The stand-up performance will soon be seen on Comedy Central, "Tracy Morgan's Hard Knock Life," filmed as part of the festival at Carnegie Hall on November 6, 2009. Another milestone for Morgan was reached in 2009 with the release of his first book, a compilation of studied anecdotes and some of the more serious moments that shaped him and his career entitled I Am The New Black. With the success of his first book, he is currently beginning work on a full autobiography due out possibly as early as next year.

As a stand-up comic who has headlined across the country, Morgan was first introduced to television audiences in his role as "Hustleman" on the hit comedy series "Martin." He went on to join "Saturday Night Live" in 1996 where he appeared for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as "Astronaut Jones" and "Brian Fellows." After leaving SNL, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series "The Tracy Morgan Show" and voiced "Spoonie Luv" on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers." Additional film credits include: Dimension Films' SUPERHERO MOVIE, FIRST SUNDAY opposite Ice Cube and Katt Williams, THE LONGEST YARD opposite Adam Sandler, the Wayan's brothers LITTLE MAN, JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK AND HEAD OF STATE. Morgan currently resides in New York City.
