Random on Jonny Zero

GQ is an actor, musician, producer, director and writer. He was born and raised in Chicago and attended NYUis Tisch School of the Arts. Before graduating from the Experimental Theatre Wing of NYU, he put some friends together to create his senior project n merging hip-hop and theater n combining two of his passions, rapping and acting. The result is the "add-rap-tation" known as the hit off-Broadway production "The Bomb-itty of Errors," in which GQ is actor, rapper, co-writer and original producer. The show won the jury prize for Best Show at the 2001 HBO/Aspen Comedy Festival.

GQis first professional acting job was at the Manhattan Theatre Club in the hit London play "East is East." His film credits include: "Whatis the Worst That Could Happen" for MGM and director Sam Weisman, "On the Line" for Miramax, and "Drumline" for Fox and director Charles Stone. Most recently, G completed a Fox feature film called "Taxi" for Tim Story.

After his experience in theater, GQ turned his attention to television n a musical sketch/comedy series for MTV called "Scratch & Burn." He and the other members of the Bomb-itty Crew, including his little brother, J.A.Q. (who also wrote and produced all of the music for the show), created, wrote, and starred in the series.

GQ's next project was his directorial debut n a film for Showtime called "Just Another Story," which he wrote and starred in as well. G also guest-starred on Fox's "Boston Public," writing his own rhymes for a role as a delinquent student in a Shakespeare class who brought the material to life for the other bored students by rapping it.

GQ lives in Los Angeles.
