Elon Gold Gavin Dewitt on Stacked 
As a Boston University student at the tender age of 19, the Boston Herald hailed Elon Gold as "a comedy star on the rise." Five years later, Comedy Central selected him and three others (including Dave Chappelle) to be profiled in its "Pipeline" series of future comedy stars. Today, his star continues to rise as Gold has established himself as one of the top comedians in the country.Growing up in the Bronx, Gold has emerged into a naturally gifted stand-up comic, sketch performer, actor and writer. At 17, Gold began his stand-up career and, one year later, Gold's impression-infused routine led to his first television appearance on MTV's "Half-Hour Comedy Hour," where he appeared alongside Chris Rock, Ray Romano and Drew Carey. By the time he was an undergraduate student at Boston University - where he graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Economics - Gold was splitting his time between his studies and touring comedy clubs and colleges across North America. In 1993, Gold was invited to perform at the world-renowned Just For Laughs Montreal International Comedy Festival, where he appeared in a cable special hosted by the late John Candy. This Montreal appearance, along with his work on the MTV sketch series "Comikaze," led to Gold's first television series on the sketch show "She TV" which was hailed by Time Magazine as one of the year's Top Ten Shows. Gold's success in the comedy world provided the perfect segue to his career as an actor. His television credits include series regular roles on the comedy series "The In-Laws," "You're the One," Dana Carvey's sketch comedy series (which he also wrote for), and host of the CableAce Award-winning series "Inside Eddie Johnson." Gold co-starred in the highly-rated telefilm "Mary and Rhoda." Gold's career has taken a couple of dramatic turns with performances in the independent features "Restaurant" and "Origin of the Species" and a guest-starring role on "Las Vegas." Gold splits his time between New York and Los Angeles, and between the Friar's Club and time with his wife Sacha, son Brandon and daughter Audrey.
