History Creator / RuPaul

* IAmNotSpock[[invoked]]: Averted; [=RuPaul=] is ''actually'' his name, and not just an pseudonym he uses. However, this can be seen as being played straight as far as his drag persona; in more recent years the only time he dresses in drag regularly is for his main show ''Drag Race'' (and even then, only for the last third of an episode), otherwise in all of his other shows (''Drag U'', ''Gay for Play'', ''Skin Wars'') he appears exclusively out of drag.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndSteveTheHappiestGayCoupleInTheWorld'' (1 episode, 2009) as Tyler (voice)

* AsHimself: Many of his film and television credits consist of him playing himself (or herself) in bit parts.

[=RuPaul=] Andre Charles (born November 17, 1960 in San Diego, California), known mononymously as [=RuPaul=], is an American actor, musician, writer, producer, supermodel, entrepreneur, and {{drag queen}}. By far ''[[TropeCodifier the]]'' preeminent living face of drag in North America and much of the Western world[[note]]The title, of course, being held by the late [[Creator/DivineActor Divine]][[/note]], he's been a pop culture fixture for much of the 90's and later became known as the creator and host of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', which not only revived his own career, but has become partly responsible for bringing the art of drag into mainstream popular culture since its debut in 2009.
