TERRY CREWS


6'2" (1.89m) 245 lb. (111kg) Black bodybuilder/actor Terry Crews hit it big with a series of funny Old Spice commercials you can view in the video below. Born in 1968, this former NFL player is perhaps best known for playing Julius on the UPN/CW sitcom Everybody Hates Chris and for his appearances in Old Spice commercials, as well as for roles in films like Friday After Next, White Chicks, Idiocracy, Gamer, and The Expendables. He stars as Nick Kingston-Persons in the TBS sitcom Are We There Yet? and as himself in the BET reality series The Family Crews.

Idiocracy is one of my favorite movies and Terry is very funny as President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.  The movie is about a future America where everybody is stupid and Terry Plays the president as a loudmouthed, pro-wrestler who quiets Congress down with a machine gun. He is great at doing comedy and acting silly, which is not a very common skill especially for guys with huge muscles.

Crews was born in Flint, Michigan and grew up in a very strict household held down by his mother. He attended The Flint Academy. He earned an Art Excellence Scholarship to attend the Interlochen Center for the Arts and then Western Michigan University. While completing his studies as an Art major, Crews was a key member of the WMU football team, where he earned all-conference honors as a defensive end. Crews was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams of the NFL in the 11th round of the 1991 NFL Draft. He carved out a career spanning seven years, including stints with the Rams, San Diego Chargers, the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles.

After retiring from the NFL in 1997, Crews pursued an acting career and took a stint as T-Money on Battle Dome (modeled after American Gladiators). Crews played the beefcake "he-man" in films such as White Chicks. He played Damon Pearly in Friday After Next, starring Ice Cube and Mike Epps. He has also done commercials with Nike. He last starred in the sitcom Everybody Hates Chris as Julius Rock, and his more modern movie appearances were alongside Adam Sandler in The Longest Yard, Click, and The Benchwarmers . Crews has made many cameo appearances. He was in Blink-182's music video of "Down" as a police officer, in Jamie Kennedy's "Rollin' with Saget" as the security guard, and in films such as Training Day and Soul Plane.

Crews usually portrays buff-looking characters with a humorous softer side, singing along with 80's music or becoming engaged with soap operas (as well as his signature robot dance). But more recently, he has been able to alternate with more serious projects such as his recent appearances in Harsh Times, Street Kings, and The Expendables. He has been featured in several Old Spice TV commercials for their "Odor Blocker Body Wash".  In the sitcom Are We There Yet?, Crews had a lead role as Nick Kingston-Persons. In the series' first trailer, Ice Cube said that Crews is the perfect person to replace him as Nick, and that his physical comedy is undeniable. The series was picked up for 90 new episodes (approx six seasons) by August 2010, while Crews enjoyed box office success in three movies in August 2010 (Middle Men, The Expendables, Lottery Ticket)

He also stars in his own reality series on BET entitled The Family Crews which is about his everyday life with his family. The show premiered on February 21, 2010. In 2012 it was announced that he would be joining the cast of the Aaron Sorkin-helmed drama The Newsroom. He will be portraying the bodyguard and life coach of Will McAvoy, the show's protagonist. There was a reference to his football past during his first appearance in the series, but it should however be noted that the football past of his character, Lonny Church, is completely different from his real-life one (his character was a Defensive Tackle who played for the Clemson Tigers in college before being drafted to the Cincinnati Bengals in the eighth round of the NFL Draft and who then got cut five weeks into the training camp, while Crews played a Linebacker in defense for the Western Michigan Broncos in college before being drafted in the eleventh round by the Los Angeles Rams and then played in the league for four seasons). Terry is currently a contestant in a NBC celebrity reality competition series called Stars Earn Stripes.

Crews has four daughters and one son, one grand child (with one being a stepdaughter from his wife's previous relationship) with his wife of 22 years, Rebecca King-Crews, a former beauty queen and gospel recording artist.



TERRY CREWS OLD SPICE COMMERCIALS
Here are several very funny and imaginative ads for Old Spice after shave starring Terry Crews. He screams, he yells, he plays musical instruments by pec bouncing, he invades other Procter & Gamble commercials.  Kooky!  These ads seem to be inspired by the bizarre commercials you see on Japanese TV.
