David Cross is a comedian born April 4, 1964, in
Atlanta, Georgia. Known for his incredibly dark, sardonic sense of humor, and his decidedly left-leaning views. With Bob Odenkirk, he wrote and starred in
Mr. Show.
Cross is also an actor; he stars in
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret , and he's appeared in everything from
Arrested Development to the
Alvin and the Chipmunks films. He also sang the
Expository Theme Tune for the fourth season of
Cheap Seats.
- Bald of Awesome: Cross has been bald at least since his late 20s.
- Crosses the Line Twice: Invoked. He won't sign on to something if he isn't doing this, unless it's under certain circumstances.
- Cluster F-Bomb: His routines seem to be full of these.
- Dead Baby Comedy: A lot of this. Perfect example: His bit about the Roman Catholic sex scandal. "How do you not fuck that?"
- Gallows Humor: Cross claims he gave his girlfriend (see Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend, below) a dildo, in case she gets raped. Of course, if you've seen Terror Firmer, this makes perfect sense.
- Identical Stranger: Cross looks a lot like a younger Peter Bergman.
- Large Ham: Likes to mock other people's over-enthusiasm. "They're square, mother-fuck! FUCK YOU, MOTHER-FUCK!" He's talking about bagels, by the way.
- Money, Dear Boy: Cross's explanation for appearing in Alvin and the Chipmunks. It paid for a house.
- He has later gone on to say that the filming of Chipwrecked was the most miserable experience of his life, urging others not to see it.
- Name's the Same: No, he was never the violinist for King Crimson.
- Refuge in Audacity: A lot of his material revolves around this.
- Sarcasm Mode: When Cross sounds like he's agreeing with someone, you know things are going to get dark.
- Ugly Guy Hot Girlfriend: Amber Tamblyn. We shit you not.
