Greg Proops

Gregory Everett Proops (born October 3, 1959, in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American actor and stand-up comedian, and enjoys immense popularity overseas as a comic and improviser.

A native of San Francisco, Proops studied improvisation and acting at San Francisco State University. After graduation, he joined an improv group with Mike McShane, which proved to be his ticket to stardom. Both Proops and McShane impressed producers Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson, who put them on their show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?.

Proops has performed his stand-up act across Europe, and even in New Zealand. However, he remains best-known for appearances on Whose Line?, including both the U.S. and UK versions. He reprised this role in 2004's Drew Carey's Green Screen Show, a show similar to Whose Line.

In addition to his stand-up and improv acts, Proops has done voice work in various films and TV shows, including Star Wars: Episode I. He also hosts a bi-weekly radio program, and a nightclub-atmosphere talk show. He lists McShane and Colin Mochrie as among his best friends.

Proops and his wife of 11 years, Jennifer, currently live in Los Angeles.
