Wayne Brady was born on June 2 in Orlando, Florida. He got his start performing in community theater in the Florida area. Wayne impressed audiences around Florida with his performance in a high school stage production and later made his professional debut in the legendary drama "A Raisin in the Sun," a far cry from his original plans of joining the military.

Wayne continued to perfect his craft in varying local productions before joining Orlando's Sak Theatre, where he began his illustrious career in improvisational comedy. In to time thereafter, he received the honor of 1992 Rookie of the Year for Theater Sports/Improv.

Later, Wayne moved to Las Vegas than to Los Angeles in 1996, where he began working in theater and television. In 1997, he tried out for the British TV series "Whose Line Is It Anyway" and impressed producers, who would cast him in four of the season's episodes. The series was duplicated for American television with Drew Carey as the host in 1998, and Brady was picked to be a regular on the new series.

Wayne has been happily married to a local girl from Hawaii named Mandie since April 3, 1999.
