Chris Rock was born in 1965 in South Carolina in the United States. He’s a comedian, actor, screenwriter, television producer, film producer and director by profession.He might have been born in South Carolina, but Chris Rock’s family moved to New York just after he was born. He grew up in Brooklyn. He made his film debut in 1987 when he played a Playboy Mansion parking valet in Beverly Hills Cop II.
Since then he’s become wildly famous for his stand-up comedy routines and his roles in various other movies and television shows. He was voted in the US as the 5th greatest stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. He was voted in the United Kingdom as the 9 th greatest stand-up comedian on Channel 4’s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups (in 2007) and again in the updated 2010 list as the 8th greatest stand-up comedian.
His subject matter typically involves family, politics, romance, music, class relationships and race relations in the United States. He’s one of the funniest comedians to ever walk this earth (in my opinion).
